Hellooooo there! Morgan Gilman Garritson waves to camera woman Jenny Linquist from her Triumph during the Rainier Ravens little winter Seattle ride.
Late January, a few of the Ravens got together for a random group ride on a very cold but clear mid week day inside the city limits of Seattle. “It was just a casual city ride that skirted Seattle and finished up through the viaduct, during what was possibly the most epic sunset cityscape rides I’ve ever been on.” Morgan said, “I mean, if we could have been smiling with the backs of our heads as well as the fronts, we would have. It was just amazing. Scream inside your helmet amazing – rare for a city ride.” Jenny rode in the side car of a Ural piloted by Iron & Air editor Brett Houle.
For those curious, the Rainier Ravens are a group of motorcycling women in the Seattle and surrounding areas who’ve joined together to throw events, put together group rides, etc.

Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
