The GB WIMA 2019 in Castleton ended after a week of mixed weather but full of fun and nice rides. The gallery will be updated in the next few weeks with photos from our ride to Chatswoth House and our social events.

The 2019 WIMA rally in Castleton, GB, just started an hour ago.

We do have a new entry in our CHARITY section: the Pikilily Annual Report 2019 is now available.

Congratulations Nicole, winner of the 3rd International WIMA Day video competition! Nicole will be awarded a unique WIMA Day t-shirt at our international rally in England later this summer.

You can see Nicole’s video here, and please note that the women are sporting four different WIMA rally T-shirts, can you see which rallies they are from?

We are happy to welcome WIMA Luxemburg and founder Ann Kathrine Kayser Hansen to our sisterhood! Ann Kathrine played a major in part organizing the Luxembourg leg of the Women Rider’s World Relay and is now busy with the Ripple Relay. We look forward to seeing more from Luxembourg!

We love our summers, the evenings are warm and the nights are bright, it is perfect for riding. On the midsummer weekend we had our WRWR Ripple relay kick off and our ambition is to take the Swedish flag from west to east and to north and south. At the moment the flag is on its way north. As well as supporting the aims of the WRWR, our ripple relay supports MJ Piki and our ambition is to fund riders’ training for Tanzanian women. The ripple relay will come to a close at WIMA Sweden’s autumn meeting.

We have received some amazing contributions to our video competition. They all capture aspects of riding and being part of a sisterhood of female bikers.
All members in the WIMA World Facebook group can vote on these video contributions made by national divisions and individual members.
Last day to vote is 30th of June 2019.

If you’re not yet a member of our Facebook group you are welcome to join, and you can ask your female motorcycling friends as well.
