"It's hot! Damn hot! Real hot! Hottest thing is my shorts. I could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cooking”.
-Robin Williams “Good Morning Vietnam”

Those of us who live in CA know that July, August & September are “damn hot” when it comes to riding.  So, what’s a rider to do if they want to hit the open road & still be safe?

• Very much like riding in the winter the key ingredient to safe summer riding is hydration.  There is a scientific formula that correlates the heat index to the amount of water needed in order to stay hydrated.  Rather than bore your socks off with science stuff, suffice it to say:

                                            DRINK WATER OFTEN.

• Also, like winter riding, wicking fabrics can help keep you cool.
• With technology today there are so many great new jackets on the market that allow for good airflow while still keeping you safe with CE padding in all the appropriate places.
• Tires are always important regardless of the season but underinflated tires in triple digit heat can lead to disaster so be sure to check your tire pressure before you ride.
• Sunscreen is a must.

For more information on how to protect yourself during the hot months we love this article from Motoress.com.

PS - With air quality what it is due to the fires, be mindful that unlike a cage/car a helmet does not filter out bad air. So ride with caution in these smokey times.

 ********UPDATE********** 08/20 It is from an over abundance of caution and concern for our community effected by the fire that XVMC will be cancelling our attendance at this event.  While we love IFRD and were looking forward to meeting you all we feel given the fires, air quality and the uncertainty of the situations we are better off staying home hugging our families and staring longingly at our bikes. 
​Stay safe!

This past Sunday Xtreme Vixens MC took a group of riders out for a lovely ride.  Starting in Concord traveling through Martinez, Briones Regional Park to the quaint little @starbucks_orinda_village . 11 amazing, independent and confident women and 1 adorable future biker chic formed a polite line to get something warm to drink after our cold windy ride.  An older woman queued up behind us and had the audacity to say out loud to all who could hear her “you are in the wrong town” sneering as she said it. YOU ARE IN THE WRONG TOWN.  Shortly after she left, the Orinda Police showed up. Wonder why? Did she really think we were some scary group of criminals...Maybe the Sisters of Anarchy. Was she so scared of our vanilla lattes that she had to call the police?

Anyone who follows us on social media has seen our posts about police profiling of motorcycle clubs and motorcycle riders. Many of you may have thought we were exaggerating.  But this is the reality of being on two wheels. Whether you are in a motorcycle club or not you are often judged to be a criminal for the love of those 2 wheels. We were paying customers, respecting those around us, behaving as anyone would out for a cup of coffee with friends. This does not scream criminal.  Add the patches to our vests and still this should not scream criminal.  

Whether you are in the Motorcycle Community, ride independently, or just hate the idea of anyone being treated like a criminal for no valid reason we ask that you support our fight to end motorcycle profiling.  It is real and it is happening. For more information on motorcycle profiling we encourage you to check out this 2 part podcast from Four for the Road - https://youtu.be/bpiErzaohjk

If you have ever been a victim of motorcycle profiling you can help by completing this survey.  All the information collected helps bolster the upcoming bills proposed in the CA Senate and on a national level.  More information can be found at - https://tinyurl.com/ro76ncb

If you are interested in getting involved reach out to us and we can put you in contact with the right people.

We finished our coffees, smiled at the police officer, some even joking with him that we are really scary bikers.  We left #Orinda with no further incident. To that lady who called the police on us...we will likely see you again.  @cityoforinda is our new favorite hang out spot.

Cold weather shouldn't be a deterrent to two-wheel fun. With a little preparation and some planning you can enjoy an amazing ride.

Tip 1: Proper Gear

• Shivering, exhaustion, stiffness can slow your reaction time.
• Layer your clothes to keep you insulated and warm.
• Wool socks and a pair of durable gloves can go a long way.
• Natural fabrics or wicking technical fabrics can regulate comfort.
• Your neck should be covered with a warm scarf or cowl.
  
  

Tip 2: Motorcycle Prep

• Consider a pair of sport heated grips. Comfort is key.
• Check your tire tread and pressure for winter riding.
• Use thinner oil to improve bike’s performance.
• Check you lights regularly to make sure they’re visible and clean.

Tip 3: Hydrate and Eat Well

• It may be counterintuitive but alcohol does not make you warmer.
• Drink liquids because dehydration leads to fatigue.
• Be sure to eat. Food helps keep your energy up in the cold.

​
Tip 4: Be Prepared For The Roads

• Slow down, braking early, and watch for ice.
• Signal earlier to give notice of your intentions to the other drivers.
• Take the next exit if you need to rest or warm up.
• The fluctuating temperatures can lead to damaged roads.

Let's hit the road, Ladies! We are planning an easy Sunday ride for you! Learn how to ride safely in a pack, hand signals, and bond with likeminded women. 

Join us for an open ride to kick off Spring!
