Near Term Rides

Following are short descriptions of TC HOG rides scheduled in the near term. Rides are listed in date order starting with the earliest one first. If you have interest in participating in any of these rides, please sign up by clicking where indicated below to initiate an email to Mike Carter. In the email tell Mike who you are, what ride or rides you will participate in and who, if anyone, is riding with you. This registration information is used to plan ride logistics such as Road Captains needed and restaurant seats required.

Note: Members have already signed a Liability Release when they joined or renewed. Non-members will have to sign a similar release during the staging period prior to the ride starting so non-members should get to the ride early enough to do this without causing a delay. Please sign up for a ride if you believe you will make it so that planning counts are as accurate as possible. If you sign up and then find you can not make it, we will understand but please let Mike know about that as soon as you know.
