Riders from all over met at Stu’s Motorcycles to ride in the 15th Annual International Female Ride Day. IFRD is a worldwide synchronized ride day for women motorcycle riders on the first Saturday in May every year. Concurrently with the ride, Stu’s was celebrating its third anniversary. Stu’s is the only Indian dealership in the six counties that comprise Southwest Florida.

As it is with many motorcycle events, there was a charitable aspect to this one. All proceeds will be given to ACT, Abuse Counseling & Treatment, Inc., an agency that provides safe and confidential services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking in Lee, Hendry, and Glades counties since 1978.

Besides the ride, Stu’s offered a whole row of vendors that catered to women’s products, free lunch, a bike show, raffles, biker games and the ever-popular bikini bike wash.
