In 2015, I co-founded The Dream Roll—a wild weekend in the woods for women who ride. Stay Wild Magazine gave me the chance to put this experience into words, capturing the magic of 300 women on motorcycles gathering at the base of Mount Adams, Washington.
It was exactly what we imagined when we started dreaming this up: a dreamy, lovely weekend filled with riding, partying, and stripping down under the moonlight. Women came from all over—Portland, LA, New York, and even as far as Australia—to join this celebration of independence and freedom. The moment they started rolling in, you could feel it: this wasn’t just an event—it was a movement.
Where It All Began
The Dream Roll was set on a landing strip from the 1920s, tucked into the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest. The roar of Harleys, café racers, choppers, sport bikes, and enduros filled the air as women arrived, ready for adventure. Vintage dome tents dotted the grounds, decked out with hanging hammocks and antique furniture. A medicated ice cream stand handed out samples (thank you, Washington!), and the vibe was pure celebration.
The first night kicked off with a bang. A DJ kept the party going while the teepee was hotboxed, Tallboys flowed freely, and women danced topless under the stars. It’s wild to think how many of these women I’d only met online, yet here we were, together in a place with no cell service and endless good vibes.
Riding and Sisterhood
Saturday morning came with coffee and raindrops. Despite the wet weather, the energy stayed high. Some women headed out for a 70-mile ride through the volcanoes and canyons nearby, while others explored waterfalls and ice caves. No matter where you chose to go, there were cows, cliffs, and dozens of other ladies saluting you as you passed.
By nightfall, the sisterhood had only grown stronger. Fire pits lit up the grounds, and a burn-out contest stole the show. Five babes played in the dome while the spotlight hit their bikes, the engines roaring and energy electric. It was obvious that The Dream Roll had become more than just a weekend—it was a celebration of women, independence, and the love of riding.
Why It Matters
Writing about The Dream Roll for Stay Wild Magazine gave me a chance to document what it means to be a woman in moto culture. This event wasn’t just about motorcycles—it was about creating a space where women could be unapologetically themselves. It was raw, real, and unforgettable.
To this day, The Dream Roll remains a gathering of strong, independent women who just want to ride. It’s an honor to have helped create something this meaningful, and I wouldn’t change a single thing about that first year.
Until next time, babes.
