On Sunday June 14th, WIMA Canada & the Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups invite you to gear up in your best Canadiana and ride to honor the legendary Canadian trailblazer, Sadie Grimm. In Winnipeg Manitoba and surrounding area, women riders are registering for both the Breast Cancer Pledge Ride and the Sadie Grimm Legacy Ride at the same locations on June 14 at TC Energy Centre in Illes des Chenes. Registration is from 8:30 am to 11:30 am CDT.
We'll ride the same route with all proceeds to the Breast Cancer Pledge Ride. There'll be a special wee gift celebrating Sadie Grimm at the Sadie Grimm Commemorative Picnic Shelter in Winnipeg Beach. It's just a short stroll north on the board walk and is a fabulous photo op and celebration of motorcycling and women.
You can get your pledge forms on-line and start fundraising now

Who is Sadie Grimm? A Great Canadian Motorcycle Legend and Hall of Famer, who at just nineteen conquered a challenging 100 KM off-road journey from Winnipeg to Winnipeg Beach on her
1914 Indian Motorcycle. She became the first person ever to complete this formidable trip on two wheels, though many men tried before her!
The Sadie Grimm Legacy Ride is Canada’s answer to the Spirit of International Female Ride Day. The SGLR got its spark in 2017 by the Women Riders Committee of the Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups and now this celebration continues to hit the pavement every second Sunday in June.
We’re on a mission to ignite a cross-country movement! The engine is already running—now it’s your turn to join the ride! Join women from every city and town to ride, represent, and celebrate!
SGLR - it’s More Than Just a Ride, It's a Canadian Legacy!
While we ride to honor this incredible female pioneer and all Canadian female riders, the road is open to all! We invite everyone to ride alongside us!
A Historical Note:
When Sadie Grimm set out for Winnipeg Beach on June 14, 1914, she wasn't just riding for a gold medal—she was riding for every woman in Canada.
1914 was a turning point. While Nellie McClung was leading the charge in Winnipeg for the political right to vote in Canada, Sadie was proving our physical independence. By conquering the treacherous, mud-clogged trails that had defeated all other riders. Sadie showed Canada and the world that a woman’s place is wherever she chooses to lead.
On June 14, 2026—the 112th anniversary of her victory—we ride to keep that spirit of independence alive!
