Chapter activities are conducted primarily for the benefit of H.O.G. chapter members. There are three categories of activities, all activities are identified as follows:
Closed events are those chapter events which are open to chapter members and one guest per member.
Member events are events that are open only to H.O.G. members
Open events are those chapter events which are open to chapter members, national H.O.G. members and other guests as desired.
If you are interested in becoming a H.O.G. chapter member, contact Great Northwest Harley Owners Group.
Chapter Rides are usually scheduled for the first Saturday and the third Sunday of each month. There are exceptions, so check the HOG Call newsletter or visit this website for updates and details.
Note: Non-GNWHOG chapter events that may be of interest to members are occasionally listed here and are shown: italicized and in this color.
Note: RC = Road Captain, RCIT = Road Captain in Training
P&P are Prince and Princess rides sponsored by LOH. These are skills workshop type rides, usually in a parking lot where we won't run into cars and drivers who don't understand. P&P is for all riders. Skills include emergency stops, s- l- o- w ride (no feet down) circles (turns) or any skill you feel needs to be improved on. As weather improves we may change when and where we go.

Holiday Hangover Ride - 10:00 am HDofS Departure
Rick (Primary) &
Dave (Sweep) will take you
on a fun local ride to clear out your mind & body from the hectic
holiday activities and to start off the new year with a resolution to

lunch but dress warm!

Tues - Resolution Ride VII
This year is a pass. After 7 years Dave is choosing to NOT organize
the Resolution Ride. If the weather stays the same as it is now it won't
be to good. Dave has sent the Camano Island cruise directions, and 11am
would be a good start time from the Lynnwood Cycle Barn store if you choose to
try it.
Jan 5 - Sat -
Chapter
Ride - Blue Patch Ride - 10:00 am HDofS Departure
Joyce (Primary) and
Dee (Sweep) will go in whatever direction there is blue sky, even if

temperatures, they’ll head toward the blue and make sure to include a
lunch stop somewhere.

will be some flower viewing and poop avoidance, followed by a cruise
up
Chuckanut Drive. Somewhere along the way there will be a stop for lunch. Prior

Tim

they choose, only Tim and Brian know for sure. If you’re in for a little
adventure and are prepared for back roads and freeway riding, this is the one

you know Tim at all, you don’t have to worry; Tim aka “Eater” will stop for
lunch somewhere along the way.

brothers & sisters, this is your ride and Jeff (Primary) & Duck and Dee (Sweeps)

Sun - Chapter Ride - Paradise/Mt. Rainier Ride - 9:00 am HDofS Departure
This will be a
long days ride with Rick aka Doc (Primary) & Tim (Sweep) but the ride to
Paradise after getting off the freeway is one of the most beautiful rides in the
area with lots of twists and turns and spectacular views of Mt. Rainier along
the way. It’s a good idea to bring warm clothes even this time of year due to
the high elevation and maybe some snacks & water but there will be a stop at the
top at Paradise Lodge which is a real treat.

This is the
annual Sue Ames Memorial Crazy Helmet Ride and it departs rain or shine. This
ride gives everyone a chance to exhibit their creative and silly side while
remembering our lost sister. Be prepared to get stared, laughed at and pointed
at by passing motorists and pedestrians. It will bring smiles to your face and
there’s. It’s always a lot of fun but last year there were quite a few coffee
stops needed due to inclement weather but no worries - it's just a ton of fun.
