What people are saying! | | The A merican Motorcyclist Association (AMA) is pleased to endorse the 2010 International Women Riders Congress and Festival (IWCF), hosted by the Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC).

| |  The Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC) has been very successful in uniting motorcyclists across the country through its national initiatives. Whether on-road riders, off-road riders or competition riders, MCC has built a solid foundation in all disciplines both nationally and more and more internationally. The motorcycle industry in Canada strongly supports the MCC's International Women Riders Congress & Festival and the MCC's continue growth and recognition as the voice of Canadian motorcyclists in Canada and internationally. | | | FEMA is pleased to salute the first International Women Riders Congress and Festival to be held in Canada. As a woman, I cannot help but support an event which, for sure, is going to provide a new insight on motorcycling opportunities. Women represent an ever-growing proportion of motorcyclists on our roads a positive trend giving an even more positive message regarding the future of motorcycling in our societies.

| |  As a female rider, I am excited to see the first International Women Riders Congress and Festival take place in Ontario, Canada in August. The camaraderie that is shared between women at these events is unbelievable. As a female motorcycle Instructor and member of the Board of Directors of a U.S. motorcycle rights organization, I cannot think of a better place to meet women of similar dreams, share experiences, and network in all things motorcycle related. This will be a great learning opportunity for all who attend ... not to mention, it is hard to beat Ontario in August!Carol Downs, Conference Director |
| | I was very excited to learn about the MCC event being held in Ontario. I am sure it will be successful and inspiring for all participants. Its central location should be a great ride for both USA & Canadian riders. I will be encouraging all Women In The Wind members to attend - especially the members of our 10 Canadian chapters. |

| |  The Australian Motorcycle Council (AMC) congratulates the Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC) and its many partners on presenting the International Women Riders Congress and Festival (IWCF) in Ontario. The theme of "one World, One Ride" reinforces the idea that motorcyclists share a common bond regardless of their origin, their occupation, or what motorcycle they ride. Over the past decade, Australia, too, has seen a significant increase in the number of female motorcycle licence holders and motorcycle owners. We anticipate the Congress will produce exciting outcomes to assist in the promotion of motorcycling to this ever-increasing number of women riders.Lorrie Hemming, Secretary |
