TO NEW ZEALAND!
And now I’m going to the next GS
Trophy in New Zealand! I remember I
was sitting in an airport when I found
out. I was about to get on a plane to
go to New York. I was going to talk at
a dealer presentation about adventure
bikes. I was sitting there waiting
for my plane when an email came
through on my laptop and I looked
down and it was from BMW. It said
– So, Jocelyn, we were wondering if
you might be interested in being the
video co-host to the GS Trophy in
New Zealand for 2020?
I don’t know if you’ve ever sat at an
airport terminal where everybody’s
pretty quiet. Their faces are in
their phones or they’re sleeping or
whatever they’re doing. And I just
jumped up: oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
That entire flight my face was frozen
in this perma-smile.
What an opportunity to be able to go
back! I don’t really think there could
be a better job for me over there! I’m
so, so grateful, so fortunate. And I
am excited now to see how the new
women’s teams develop and watch
them climb this ladder. It’ll be so neat
to see to someone else enjoy these
opportunities. Then they too will
inspire more women and then those
women will inspire more and, you
know, we can we can grow this!
