H.O.G. Chapter Ride - Bankhead Road Tour

Event date: 
Sat, 03/02/2024 - 1:00pm to 5:00pm

H.O.G. Chapter Riders!

It's time...our inaugural local ride of the season!  

Please plan now to join RCs Chris E. and Rich K. as they take us out on our first run of the 2024 Chapter riding season!

This ride is a definite full tanks, empty bladders route.    The gas station, and planned rest stop, halfway through the ride DOES NOT have premium fuel.  It will be a 3 hour loop from RHD through Bankhead forest and back to RHD.  The route consists mainly of two lane roads, a little four lane, and no freeway.  Google Maps has the time at 3:09 and a distance of 143 miles.  The final determination on route and fuel/rest stop will be determined by the pre-ride.  We'll plan on giving out pins upon return to RHD.

KSU will be at 1:30pm.  Back to the dealership by 5pm.  That should give us plenty of daylight as sunset is 5:43 plus another 40 minutes of twilight for those who have concerns about riding at night.  This is a link to the ride in the HD Ride Planner.  Setting the options to Avoid Freeways will change the route to something similar to the actual route.
