The Common Sheilas loving the dirt and dust at PPMG

By Medinah Wells

A band of four Queensland women who describe themselves as ‘Common Sheila’s’ aren’t afraid of the dirt and love to ride.

And this year they have entered their first Pan Pacific Masters Games as a team.

Rebecca Redman, Denna Redman, Terri Topham and Nadine More are the only girl group competing in this year’s Moto Racing – Offroad up at Pimpama.

Having met through the RCTB motorbike club, the all-girl team have ridden all over the country together. Their deep love of motorsport brought them together and kept their friendship alive.

Like all good plans, the idea to participate in the Games was sprung up around a campfire.

This is Nadine’s second Pan Pacs, having competed in the dressage at the 2022 Games. She aspires to compete in both divisions in the 2026 games.

“We just love riding and going to different places.

“You ride with people and meet people you otherwise never would.”
