Indian Motorcycles (parent company to Polaris) is commemorating a day to the gals by partnering up, once again, with International Female Ride Day (IFRD) – and the efforts include a 155-mile group ride in France. 

Indian didn’t hold back for the route, either; apparently, Indian ambassadors Jess Wise, Caroline Cora, Jasmine Rose, Courtney Boyd, Deimante Meilune, and Sophie Molesti will be in the area on May second (the day before), with all attending ladies beginning the route in Toulouse the day after, heading off to Montpellier, a group scoot over to Marseilles and a well-rounded close in Nice by May sixth.

Given Polaris’s continued partnership with International Female Ride Day®,  founder Vicki Gray is particularly excited to see the partnership continuing into the new year.

“I am thrilled that Polaris (Indian Motorcycle parent company) is partnering with International Female Ride Day again for 2023… Their support has been and continues to be invaluable in propelling International Female Ride Day to even great heights,” states Gray.

“I’m grateful for the synergies we share and their absolute support of our vision – highlighting and supporting women riders while expanding equity in Powersports.”

With sixteen International Female Ride Days now behind us and an uncounted amount to go, we look forward to seeing how this brilliant effort continues to inspire women riders to gear up and get out in the name of freedom and the open road. 

Can’t get yourself across the Atlantic in time? No prob – just celebrate IFDR with a local group or a solo ride of your own.
