Women's Riding Groups in Europe ... you can help!

Postby vtm on Mon Apr 26, 2010 9:33 am

I've always received a handful of emails every year from women in Europe and of course we have some new board members from that neck of the woods.

As many of you know, I have built an international women's ride map at http://vtwinmama.com/womens_ride_map.htm. What I'd like to do is enlist your help in exploring many of the countries in Europe, scouring for women's riding groups so that the map is more comprehensive.

I'm thinking to start with: Norway, Sweden, Finland, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Portugal, Belgium, and The Netherlands. Looking at what I've already got, you'll see mostly WIMA listed and a few independents.

Choose a country, familiarize yourself with the main cities, do a search on "women motorcycle riders in [country]" and see what you come up with. I realize that in many cases you'll end up on sites in a language you don't know, but I've found that with a bit of luck I can determine it is an all women's group, and the location (city) of the headquarters.

Then just add to this thread with the name, website, and city ... I'll check it out and then add a pin!

Get started by choosing a country and declaring that you'll be doing the research! I think together we can populate Europe's map a bit better! :idea:

I'm going to work on Germany as my German language skills are decent enough (my parents were born and raised in that country).

I'm finding that it's useful to translate a few key words like motorcycle, woman, girl, link, and contact! I use this free translation site: http://www.freetranslation.com/.
