Something for the Ladies

Join us May 4 to celebrate International Female Riders Day! We have a full day and night planned just for us. Celebrations will start at Privateer’s Harley-Davidson where they’ll be firing up the BBQ! Once our bellies are full, we will have a fun (and safe) ride to Truro. Please join us in Truro for a ladies only slumber party at the Stonehouse Motel for laughs, camaraderie and prizes donated by various local dealers and businesses. Whether you ride a scooter or a cruiser, have been riding for years or just getting started – this ride is for YOU! You can join for the whole day or just part of the day. Either way, we’d love to have you! Here is the itinerary:

12-2 BBQ at Privateers HD
2-3 Fall River Tims to pick up any ladies who can’t make it to Privateer’s.
3:00 Ride leaves Fall River to follow Route 2 to Truro.
5:00 Supper at the Engine Room
7 – ? Stonehouse Motel for a slumber party!

If you book your room within the next 2 weeks and mention that you are attending the International Female Ride Day, rates at $85-$95 for double occupancy. $5 extra for each additional person. The Stonehouse has a restaurant & lounge on the premises with live entertainment and all the rooms are drive up so your bike will be right beside you. Breakfast in the morning at the Stonehouse and then, if you wish, off to Victoria Park for the Annual Blessing of the Bikes.
