Maggie Valley, North Carolina Shamrock Tour®

Last year, RoadRUNNER ran a contest to promote our new website platform and web subscription option. The winner and one friend would get to tag along on a RoadRUNNER Shamrock Tour® with myself and our Editor-in-Chief, Florian. We received an incredible response from our readers, many of which were eager to win this unique chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create one of our famous Shamrock Tours.

Christina Stephens was the winner of our grand prize drawing. A long-time RoadRUNNER subscriber, she is based in Nashville, TN, and rides a Kawasaki Z900RS. She is a master jeweler, and runs her own Valkyrie jewelry line, making unique motorcycle-inspired pieces. We couldn’t have lucked out with a better person to join us.

She chose to invite her good friend Jennifer Eskew, who rides a BMW F 700 GS. They’ve been friends and riding partners for six years, but their inside jokes and sense of humor make them seem more like sisters. As you might imagine, Florian was stoked to spend the week riding with three lovely ladies, although I’m not sure he really knew what he was getting himself into.
