“Muriel Meetup” Women’s Panel

Can we get all the women riders to join a dynamite panel of women riders for a meet and greet at the Bandstand. Our panel includes a couple of women likely known by first name.  Voni and Tam, will join another couple of getting noticed riders,   Stephanie Pischke (high mileage rider ) and new board member Cara Clifford Nelson and rider to help facilitate our kick off “Meet Muriel” This will be followed by s’mores and more. It is our hope this will facilitate introductions between old and new women riders as well as foster life long relationships.
