It took a while but our first EmpowerRide Day for women and girls motorcycle riders was held today.
A big thank you to Mylah, Maddie and Phoebe and their parents who made the happen.
Mylah and Phoebe enjoyed having some ride time and Maddie is looking forward to our next EmpowerRide Day when she will have recovered from her broken arm.
Local rider Sharnelle Sipple was a great mentor telling the girls of her experiences in motorcycle riding. Sharnelle indicated that she is very interested in taking up a coaching course supported by our EmpowerRide project.
Club Vice President spoke to the girls about track preparation during a track walk and Club Secretary Michelle Lawler spoke of her role in administration and her role as a level 4 Clerk of Course official.
Another huge thank you goes to our volunteers who made it possible for the girls and get our project of to a start.
Even a kangaroo turned up for support!
The Club has three more EmpowerRide Days scheduled for 2025:
Saturday 21 June
Saturday 23 August
Saturday 08 November
The dates are subject to change.

25/04/2025

We have delayed the start of today's activity until 10am
If you haven't registered on Ridernet, you are still invited to come along and hear what the project EmpowerRide is all about.

25/04/2025

Despite a disappointingly low registration and the forecast of yet another wet Saturday, at the time of this post, the EmpowerRide day is planned to go ahead.
Taking things into account, the Club will NOT be holding a sausage sizzle. Please bring your own food and drink.
Any change in plans will be posted on this page.

The day’s activities will include:
• Information Session – details of the EmpowerRide project and the Australian Government’s Play Our Way program.

We're on countdown to our first EmpowerRide Day!

This special project is for women and girl participants only and is made possible through funding from the Australian Government Play Our Way program.
We have had two attempts to get the EmpowerRide project underway, and both were abandoned due to inclement weather.
This Saturday 26 April 2025 we are hoping for an all-clear weather day so that we can get the project started.
This day will be FREE for all women and girls who choose to participate.
Gates will open at 8:00am. The day will be made up of information sessions, education sessions and riding time.

There will be a simple sausage sizzle available for those who may miss out on breakfast but please be advised that it will be cash only sales. Soft drinks and bottled water will also be on sale.

All participants must register through Motorcycling Australia's Ridernet portal. For those who do not have a Motorcycling Australia licence - and that will most likely be the majority - you will need to go to the Ridernet website and create an account. This will give you a Ridernet number which will allow access to register.
This process will be to find the EmpowerRide event dated 26/04/2025 then click on the Register icon to lodge your details.
Entries are currently open and close on 23-Apr-25 via Ridernet.

Participants who have their own bike and riding gear that meets the minimum standard should bring that equipment but are reminded that knobby tyres are NOT permitted.

The Kurri Kurri Speedway Club has purchased two bikes and two sets of female specific riding gear that can be shared by those participants who are starting completely from scratch.

Further information and details will be posted here on our page. Tell your friends and come along to be a part of this fun project!

Heard the quote "Can't take a trick"?
If you have, then you'll know how the Club feels when the EmpowerRide Day for women and girls scheduled for tomorrow Saturday 29 March 2025 has to be postponed - AGAIN!!!!

Rain has begun falling in the area and the Bureau of Meteorology forecast for tomorrow (updated at 12pm today) is for 20 to 60mm of rain, the day's EmpowerRide event is postponed.

This allows the Club to give reasonable notice to those people who were going to be involved in the day.

It is frustrating, but the Club won't give up and asks all interested people to understand that the Club has a clear commitment to EmpowerRide.

The date for the first EmpowerRide Day will be advised

Just 7 days to go until our first EmpowerRide day.
The day is open to women and girls only as part of the Australian Government's Play Our Way program.

Sign-on will be at 8:30am. No riding licences are required for this first day but sign-on is compulsory for all participants to meet the minimum standards for the permit to conduct the day's activities.
It is a FREE day for those women and girls who choose to participate.

Those women and girls who have either a speedway bike or flat track bike and the minimum standard riding gear should bring that equipment with them. No knobby tyres are permitted for adult flat track riding.
The Club has purchased a 125cc speedway bike and a 250cc flat track bike as well as female specific riding gear for those women and girls who do not have any equipment.

There will be no competitive riding - this is a FUN day - a day to start increasing the participation of women and girls in the motorcycling.
Women and girls who are more interested in coaching, officiating and volunteering in motorcycling should also come along as motorcycling is much more than just riding.

Those women and girls who do choose to participate should email our club secretary, Michelle Lawler, at [email protected] with names and ages and indicate which part of the day they will focus on participating - riding, coaching, officiating and/or volunteering.

The day's activities will include information sessions, education sessions, hands-on activity and track time.

The day's activities will get underway at 9:00am and run through until 12pm depending on the number of participants.

A sausage sizzle and cold drinks will be available for purchase in the morning. Cash only.
