The ride is in honour of International Female Ride Day (IFRD) and will end with an Alice in Wonderland-themed picnic at the Avianto Clubhouse in Muldersdrift, Gauteng.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Join in for a safe, smooth-riding and fun event, with various departure points all around Gauteng and each group led by an experienced lady rider.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The IFRD first took place in 2007, with this year being the 17<sup>th<\/sup> edition. The aim of the IFRD is to stage a globally synchronised motorcycling and scooter ride for women that encourages all women to \u2018JUST RIDE\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It provides the ideal opportunity for women to act as role models to the global community of women who ride, to raise awareness of the growing numbers of women who own or ride motorcycles, and to celebrate the achievements of women in motorsport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The International Female Ride Day has a successful track record of unifying women across 120 countries around the world. In addition to these serious goals, the IFRD is also about having fun and making friends in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">That\u2019s where the Alice in Wonderland theme for this year comes in. The Muldersdrift picnic will be hosted by Alice and her friends, including the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Queen of Hearts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5462 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/enduroworld.co.za\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/About-InternationalFemaleRideDay-MOTORESS-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cWe\u2019re all about encouraging women to find more reasons to ride, and what better opportunity than a fancy-dress picnic?\u201d commented Kerry Puzey of Biker\u2019s Warehouse, one of the organisers of the IFRD Mass Ride.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ifrd-sa.co.za\/merchandise-duplicate-3060\/\">Registration<\/a> is essential and the R50 fee affords riders participation in the Mass Ride, entrance to the wonderland \u2018after-party\u2019, a goodie bag and a picnic hamper.
