Canadian Womens' Ride Day - 2015

tirediron · Jul 20, 2015

For the second year in a row, I've covered the Canadian Women's Ride Day, a motorcycling fundraiser by and for women. This year there were almost 140 women on motorcycles who met for a three hour, 40 mile ride through the backroads of southern Vancouver Island to raise money in support of women's causes. As always, comments/critique are appreciated.

Nice series John. The Harley's are such a treat to watch and hear.

Pic 3 is the one for me. Loved it.

Nice job and good for them.

Very nice coverage of the event. Were you riding for any of the photos? e.g. 6 or 10?

I was riding for most of them - if you look closely in #6 you can see me shooting over the shoulder of my buddy who was driving the bike.

Nice work John, #3 is my fav too! It's my dream to own one of these beasts!

I like them all, John. So no favorite , but I am curious as to where the last one was taken, as I don't recognize it.

Thanks Raj - I have to admit, I don't recall see many Harleys or Harley-like bikes in India when I was there.

Cheers! That's right at the south entrance into Cowichan Bay, as you come down the long hill. I'm standing on the waterside, right near the kayak rental place on the water side, shooting south.
