74-Year-Old Wins High Mileage Contest




Ardys Kellerman has ridden close to 700,000 miles in her life with no signs of slowing down.


Way to go Ardys Kellerman for winning the BMW MOA high mileage contest in 2006. Ardys, 74, rode her BMW 80,116 miles in six months beating out other BMW MOA members competing for the record. BMW MOA -- MOA stands for motorcycle owners of America -- is one of the largest independent motorcycle groups in the U.S. The mileage contest is divided into men's and women's categories and runs for six months from April to October. Until 1999, Ardys had ridden the most contest miles ever at 50,000. In 1999, Voni Glaves, a well-known long distance BMW rider, broke Ardys’ record. Since then, Ardys has wanted to reclaim her high mileage title, but work and grandkids got in the way. Only two men have ridden more miles in the six-month contest, putting Ardys at third highest mileage in the contest’s history -- and age is not a category.




Long distance ladies: Karol Patzer, Ardys Kellerman and Voni Glaves at the AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference in Georgia in July 2006. All are known for riding their BMWs long distances for long periods of time.


To learn more about Ardys, you can read Voni Glaves' article on her posted on the BMW MOA Web site at http://www.bmwmoa.org/features/queenie.htm.
man.... pictures of her in a little bit.

445 miles a day. Holy crap. Averaging 50 mph she's riding about 9 hours a day, every day, for 6 months.
