I went to the AMA Women's Conference in Carson City.
Overall I thought the organization was all fubared. Venues kept changing and unless you checked email at 6 am you wouldn't have known the changes.
I did help out with the Streetmasters clinic which was cool. They had a great turnout & then did their first open road clinic up thru Lake Tahoe.
I didn't go to Virginia City as I hate it up there. (lived in the area for 35 yrs so have been there done that) but heard the BBQ they did was wonderful.
I also helped out at the Reno Cycle & Gear Victory Demo booth Friday Afternoon & Sunday. We had over 40 riders come test ride the 5 bikes from the shop in Reno! As the VMC Store Manager & SW Regional Rep for The Victory Motorcycle Club, I brought some donations for a raffle for all that test rode a Victory.
I've ridden all those roads(It's my back yard) so much I figured hanging & helping would be fun. Talked to lots of ladies from all over.
One of the highlights of the Saturday night dinner was Mary McGee. (

I'm glad I went but doubt I will go again. This was so close to home couldn't pass it up.
Wrapter, sorry I didn't check in with ya but maybe we crossed paths along the way!
