Have you ever heard the old saying, “you have not because you ask not?” Well, this applies to me and my next guest for Profile of a Female Motorcyclist Meet Lois. I’m racking my brain trying to remember how I came across her website Lois On The Loose. You have to go take a look at all her accomplishments!
Lois has several epic road trips under her belt, written two books (I’ve got to get these!!), a contributing writer and editor to several publications, and also does public speaking. Wow!
Back to the old saying … I reached out to Lois earlier this year asking if she’d like to add her profile of a female motorcyclist to my blog. She said yes, but was about to leave on a trip and would do it when she had some spare time.
And she did, so now I’m adding another lady rider to the mix. I am so glad I asked Lois. I think this is the 80th profile of a female motorcyclist! Join me in welcoming Lois Pryce from London, UK.

Admirable feats. Lois is an adventurer!
I know!! She is so cool! Not sure if you like Bluegrass because she has a video on her blog with her band!!
I loved reading Lois on the Loose. Such a great book. What a wonderful experience and written with such a sense of humor. I highly recommend it. I had a friend lend it to me and couldn’t hardly put it down.
An inspiration to lady riders to be sure!!
Trobairitz – good to know. I want to get a copy of those books!!
