Windy City Women Riders, NFP, is a non profit women's riding club whose mission is to foster a bond of sisterhood among women motorcyclists.

We welcome women of all levels of experience, brands of motorcycles, age sexual orientation and life experiences to join us. 

We meet the second Wednesday of the month at the Sauganash Restaurant, 4732 W. Peterson Ave. Our meetings start at 7:00 and we usually arrive beginning at 6:30 to order food.

Windy City Women Riders host 3 events annually. The Polar Bear ride held Jan 1st of each year, the No Boyz Ride, a opportunity for women to gather, ride and celebrate the uniqueness of a woman's only event, and Trina's Ride, our bi annual benefit ride.

We participate in all types of rides and try to have a wide variety of adventures in our ride calendar each year. The majority of our rides are open to members and guests (both male and female are welcome) however we do have occasional members only and women only rides.

When I found WCWR, I found a community.  A neighborhood.  A home.  A place where there were women like me, even though our differences outweighed our commonalities.  A place where I could be accepted for me.  A place where I could look over and see that the women riding next to me "got it."  Was feeling the same joy that I was in being free on the road. 

I think what makes WCWR so special is that we are all so different.  Different ages, different stages of our lives, different lifestyles, different income levels, professional levels, different types of bikes yet we all share the love of motorcycle riding and sharing that love with other women is an incredible bonding experience. 

I love riding.  I need to stress that.  I LOVE riding.  I love riding by myself, I love riding with my man, I love riding with a group of men, riding with a group of men and women but there is something very special about being on the road with my WCWR sisters that never fails to lift the stress of everyday life right off of my shoulders and sends it soaring into the wind to leave me happy, relaxed and loving life. 

When I'm on the road and I look forward and see Sheri leading the pack in her eminently capable and calm manner and I glance in my rear view mirror and see Tori back there watching us all to make sure we're all safe, and the sun is shining and the wind is blowing and the asphalt is rolling under my tires I get so happy that I just have to stand up and let it all out.  It's just pure joy being one with the road, one with my club.
