  WEDNESDAY 23 JUNE 2021 What a great day for a ride. After weeks of high temperatures, the weather was comfortable with a little sprinkles. Now I absolutely need to wash my bike. This brunch ride to Lilo’s should have been called the Dossey Dozen Ride.  The Dosseys' We were twelve people in total with more than half being Dosseys. It was pretty cool seeing their kids from Iowa enjoying riding together. I’m sure we all enjoyed our ride. Looking forward to the next one.  That's All

 JUNE 15 thru 17 2021 Can’t believe our ride to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was last week. In retrospect maybe we should have cancelled because saying it was HOT is not enough. It was ridiculously hot! At least 120 degrees on our ride out.

We had breakfast at the Coffee Cup in Bullhead City - a definite “go there again”, lots of stops to hydrate, hung out at Zion HD to cool off and purchase hydration vests. The ride through Zion park was beautiful and fun. We stayed in Kanab and didn’t get in until about 7pm. The next day we got an early start to the Canyon. From Kanab the ride is beautiful with gentle sweeping curves. Everyone made it home safely on Thursday with us breaking off into three groups. We have some early risers. This was a great trip despite the unusuall...

  WEDNESDAY 23 JUNE 2021 RIDE 365 The following is a message/request from a member of our chapter: Mike Celsi has signed up for it..  Could you please ask the people that sign up for the Ride 365 Chapter mileage to please post some of their miles.  It is almost midyear, and I am the only one that has posted anything.  If you sign up, and don’t post anything, you drive the chapter average down since you are counted but haven’t contributed anything.  Any miles are fine, just please post what you have ridden.  There are 3 members signed up and haven’t posted at this time. So, you ask "what is Ride 365?" What is Ride 365? Ride 365 is The Official Mileage Recognition Program for The Official Riding Club of Harley-Davidson. Ride 365 includes the existing Lifetime Recognition and two new programs—Annual Recognition and an annual Chapter Challenge. We want to encourage you to focus on the reason you own H-D motorcycles—to ride them!  Here is the screen that c...
