Today we celebrate all the “snowmobile moms” out there! It is a day of love and peace that you deserve for putting up with all the kids that make your heart skip in so many ways. Thank you for being supportive and encouraging all the young riders out there to follow their dreams, chase the powder, win the race, or follow the endless miles of trails. Thank you to my mom for standing by me in all my years of craziness and molding me to be the person that I am today.
Finally, I want to dedicate this article to the memory of an amazing racer mom that the snowmobile world lost this week. Linda Murphy of New York was the ultimate snowmobile mom. She was also my inspiration for this article and many other things in life. Linda was my racer mom that kept me going on race weekends, feeding me and even making sure I had photos of myself, and my significant other, for years to come. God speed, Linda. I know you will be watching over all the snowmobilers out there, especially your loved ones on your team. You will be greatly missed, and never forgotten.
As we always say at Pink Ribbon Riders: “Riding in honor and in memory of those we love.
