RawHyde's Ladies Only Adventure Rider Training

Motorcycling is a sport in which more and more women are making the decision to get involvled. About 12% of the motorcycling community is female and the numbers are rising each year. Additionally more and more women are joining the "Adventure Riding" community each year, and so RawHyde Adventures has begun a "ladies only" rider training program.

Empowerment is a key word for women and motorcycles. And it can be an empowering experience to enter what has typically been a male-dominated sport and industry, and participate in something that has traditionally been viewed as "not ladylike."

So, RawHyde Adventures is pleased to announce our "Ladies Only" training program.

This special class is based on our "Intro to Adventure" rider training program, but has been mildly modified to suit the female rider.

  • Turning technique using counterbalancing
  • Obstacle avoidance
  • How to control front and rear wheel skids
  • Hard Acceleration technique on dirt and gravel
  • Hill Climbing
  • Descending steep hills in a controlled manner
  • How to ride in Sand and Gravel
