Winchester — For Debbie Orndorff, one of the best things about riding a motorcycle is feeling in control.
“It’s just you and the road,” the local resident said. “I like the open part about the motorcycle.”
Orndorff, who works at Grove’s Winchester Harley-Davidson off U.S. 50 (Millwood Pike) east of the city, said she started riding in 1993. Her husband is also a motorcycle enthusiast.
Like many of the dealership’s employees, Orndorff rides her motorcycle to work often, especially in the summer when the weather is warm and gas prices are high.
“It can save you money on gas,” she said.
Orndorff was among thousands across the country who rode their motorcycles to work Wednesday as part of Ride Your Motorcycle to Work Day.
