Chapter 5 President (January 2008 - present )

Motto: “Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Malibu & Coke in another, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WHOO HOO WHAT A RIDE!”

About Me: I am honored and touched to say that I was nominated for this position by my fellow riders. I’ve been riding for a total of 35 years now if you count the fact that I started riding mini bikes and dirt bikes when I was 6. My father owned a small engine business and I had the coolest “Chopper Mini Bike” in town along with a mini bike with a side car, dirt bikes, four wheelers and go-carts. As I got into my teen years I went from Tom Boy to Preppie Girl and today as an adult I’m a combination of both! I can ride hard with the guys, but my nails are always manicured and my hair is always done even with a helmet on! (ha, ha)

On the personal side, I’m proud to say I’m the mother of triplet, 8 year old boys. They too have started riding dirt bikes and we’re hoping to get them into competitive riding soon. I’m very proud of my three little men and look forward to many trail rides with then up North. I hope that one day, we’ll be riding side by side on the open road as a family.

I hope that you’ll find membership as a Green Knight as rewarding as I have. You’ll meet true riders, ladies and gentlemen that will ride beside you , behind you, and in front of you, all the while looking out for your best interest and safety on the busy roads of New England. These are riders that I would trust with my life, literally and am proud to call my friends (you know who you are).

I hope you’ll ride with us soon!
