Elektrogirl: Trui Hanoulle

Trui Hanoulle\\u2019s home is in Belgium, where she works as a freelance photographer and graphic designer, but she\\u2019s also a traveler and a motorcyclist. She\\u2019s ridden throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East, connecting with people, exploring the backroads and off the beaten path places. She spends her time learning about the cultures and the countries she explores. She doesn\\u2019t follow the path of the mainstream tourist, she takes the time to really experience the different ways people live their lives.

Trui\\u2019s last long distance ride was on a Zero electric motorcycle, and she\\u2019s discovered that there were great perks to riding the bike, cost of travel being ultimately low for a motorbike, and some drawbacks as well. She rode from Belgium to Istanbul and back, and the bike required a recharge about every 250 km for 12 hours. Although this meant having to make frequent stops, it also gave opportunities to meet the locals and ask for help with charging. And that, for Trui, is what travel is all about.

ADVWoman: Pat Jacques

Since she was first on a minibike at the age of 8 years old, Pat has been passionate about riding. She got her first \\u201creal\\u201d motorcycle when she was 11 years old, a 1972 Honda SL100, as a reward for doing well in school. Soon she followed her brother in racing MX, first in girl\\u2019s classes, and then in boys classes. And she has since spent most of her biking career racing MX in men\\u2019s classes. Now retired from racing, her passion for riding has branched out in to empowering women riders.

In 2016, Pat Jacques hosted the first annual motorcycle adventure rally, ADV Woman Rally, run by women, all women instructors, for women and their families.\\xa0
