Day Two: Participant Comments

Contrary to popular belief there is crying in motorcycling! ----Foley

Last night we went to this great Greek restaurant. I was captured by the tender dance of this older couple. Turns out he was the owner and a cancer survivor as well and that night was the first time in a very long time that he was able to dance with his wife. He said he was honored to have us in his establishment. I told his wife she would share many more dances with her husband as I will with mine. Love you honey! Hey Tye Baby picked up some cool rocks for you- mommy loves you! Opa! Linnea (Pippi)

upon our journey I have found that there are so many people touched by this awful thing we call cancer!!!! But we all will conquer and Live On In Spirit and Body!!! –Drea

We are dancing up a storm in the bar! Sorry that I called U so late babe-I lost track of the time difference. Donny, be good and do all of your homework. Matt-just behave! We are meeting such great people along the way. BC has taught us compassion and also that life does go on after you hear those 4 awful words. More tomorrow-I have to go dance with the ladies TA TA.

What a day we had yesterday but it ended with us at a Greek restaurant. I am amazed at how many people we draw attention to this event. We meet someone who has been touched by cancer. That is what this is all about. Touching others helps us deal with this disease called cancer. When we help someone laugh, cry, smile or even sob, we have touched them in a way that will mean something to them and to us! -Cathy Gailey


What can I say!! Once again these Amazon Womyn have touched my life. I will never be the same!! We had a fantastic ride to Buellton today. Twisty, sweeping roads-what fun!! Everyone seems to be bonding and having a great time. We are all dancing and talking and having a super time in the hotel now. I love being on these rides and meeting the survivors from all over the US. We are all sisters and survivors together-Amazon Womyn Rock!! Love to all my family and friends-miss you all!! Fearless.

What a sight of biker babes all riding in unison through the winding California Hills! Megan gave me a wonderful compliment—as I am the only new rider—but don’t ride like one! Hello to all my ‘fans’ at home-Mom, Steph, OUCOD
Much love

I’m overwhelmed by the hospitality of the Harley Dealer’s we’ve stopped at along the way. They all welcomed us with open arms, and more often than not have fed us meals. I take the opportunity at each location to look at the 2006 Night Rod – my future bike. PaulaT (“Gadget”)


Tonight we’re in Buellton. We met Skip, a biker from Florida. He’s out here working. His wife has been fighting breast cancer for a year. He was so sad and we made him smile. This is why I do this ride!! Bonnie, be strong. You have 23 Amazon survivors on your side. Last night our young pretty waitress at the Mexican restaurant said her Mom rides and is a breast cancer survivor, Seems like we’re always in the right place at the right time.
ENJOY!!!
Stacy….Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Just Jan here… after a few mishaps, I am still here. The view, the ladies and God is awesome. I have never felt more at home than I do right now. We are dancing and singing and meeting really nice people that I know our strength and courage have touched and that’s what we set out to do. I love this ride… just Jan


Wowie!!! I swear, today’s ride really made me realize how absolutely f***in fortunate I am!!!! I live here!!!!!! I promise to never take this beauty of mother for granted ever, ever again!! The ocean, the mountains, the trees, the sky….such a healing atmosphere!! Not to mention being surrounded by the coolest women EVER!!! Right on!! Gotta go, my song is playing…XOOX Tia

Gigi here ~ This has been such an overwhelming, awesome experience so far that I just could not put it into words…These women are my soul Sisters each and every one! To be able to share our journeys through cancer with others just like us is so cleansing. The support I have had from my Amazon Sisters and so many others this past week makes it so much easier to be away from my Harley girl. I will cherish this wonderful week forever! You are all in my heart and soul. Thank you M & M for bringing us all together.
