Approaching Age 50 and Riding Into My Fullness
I am finally coming into my own as a rider, a woman who has found a home in the road, and an independent spirit.

In 2013, Sash bought her first motorcycle and three months later, we set off on our bikes for a six-month road trip across the country and back.
