As the summer of 2024 approaches, excitement is building in the motorcycling community, especially among women riders. From June 25-27, Rapid City, South Dakota, will transform into a vibrant hub of camaraderie, adventure, and empowerment as it hosts the Women On Wheels (WOW) International Ride-In.

A Tradition of Empowerment and Community

Founded in 1982, Women On Wheels is an international organization dedicated to promoting motorcycling among women. With members from all over the world, WOW has fostered a supportive community where women riders can share their passion, experiences, and knowledge. The annual International Ride-In is the pinnacle event for WOW, drawing hundreds of riders together for a few days of rides, workshops, and fellowship.

Why Rapid City?

Rapid City, known as the "Gateway to the Black Hills," offers the perfect blend of scenic beauty and vibrant local culture. Nestled in the western part of South Dakota, this city is a stone’s throw away from iconic landmarks like Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, and Custer State Park. The winding roads and breathtaking landscapes make it an ideal destination for motorcycling enthusiasts.

Event Overview.

Local routes and maps will offer self-guided rides, allowing attendees to explore the area at their own pace in smaller groups. Ample unstructured time is built in, providing opportunities to enjoy the company of new friends made at the Ride-In. The festivities will culminate in a Banquet and Member Recognition Ceremony on Thursday evening.
