Now that summer has truly started, people are jumping on their motorcycles to enjoy the fresh air and open roads.

On July 6th, 2008, women will learn to make the most of this experience and improve ability with Vicki Gray, through her company MOTORESS®, during a day at Canada’s historical MOSPORT Circuits’ Rider Development track – geared specifically to women.

As a former supersport 600 racer, on track instructor, coach and the creator of International Female Ride Day, Vicki Gray is a leader in promoting skilled and rewarding riding for women. “The aim of the women’s track day is to provide an environment free of performance pressure that assists women in taking that next step in their riding skill development, while becoming better acquainted with the ability and performance of their own motorcycle,” says Vicki. “It goes without saying how much fun women have at a track day like this. It’s a guaranteed kick and is not a new practice for MOTORESS® as I did this in Europe under my former brand RaceGirl,” she adds.

As this is not a track school, the objective nonetheless is to provide resource to assist in making the most of the day, advancing the skills of each participant at their various and individual levels. Women receive coaching on cornering methods, higher speed techniques, braking performance and any other challenges they wish to overcome – all provided by experienced female on-track coaches as mentors and role models. The know-how gained by riding on the track instantly propels day-to-day riding skills to the next level – levels difficult to achieve from the public road. By the day’s end, the rider reaches an elevated level of confidence and understanding of their machine, as well as enjoying more “grin factor,” as they experience traffic-free pure non-stop motorcycling pleasure.

Controlling a motorcycle and possessing the skills to manage a motorcycle are on-going, as even the world's best riders constantly test and improve their proficiency. Practicing under proper tutoring is the way to do this while increasing both confidence and getting the most out of the pleasure motorcycle riding results.

The day targets not just newcomers to the track, but those who have experienced the track before – intermediate or experienced with sessions to accommodate these various levels. First time riders receive a mandatory training session before getting started. There are also contests, prizes, vendors, demo rides and much more.
