Pictures of Rides & Events
Sand Toy Capitol of the World! Glamis Ride April 19th
We began the ride and headed East on I-10, then linked up to the 86S. We soon reached Salton Sea and stopped for gas and a social break at Red Earth Casino. Once we reached Hwy78, we headed straight into Sand Country, Glamis! Which is 5 miles wide by 40 miles deep! It is visited by 1.4 million people per year, making it the Sand Toy Capitol of the World! The skies were clear, so we got to enjoy the beautiful and massive sand dunes from the Osborne Lookout where we took our 1st HOG picture. Then we rode to the Glamis Store to take our 2nd picture under the iconic Glamis sign that has been there since the store opened in 1979. We then rode into Brawley and ate at Brownie's Diner. Good Times!
After Meeting Ride to Tom's Farm March 15th
We could not ask for nicer weather, clear skies and sunny as we rode through Temascal Canyon into Tom's Farm. While there we went into the Country Store, Bakery and had some great Burgers for lunch! Live music was playing, water turtles were sunbathing because did I mention the weather was great! After doing a little shopping we all headed back together. Juanita led the ride with a distance of 150 miles and perfect weather. Lake Mathews never looked so good!
Sunday Ride to Janet's Montana Cafe. February 16th
Yeap! Sunday Rides Rock! Our scheduled ride to Janet's Montana Cafe in Alpine, CA was great! Heather led the ride with a distance of 277 miles and time 5 hours 45 minutes. Lots of laughs and good times! A second ride to high desert was available for those that were on a time crunch. All and all HOG members rode this weekend! It's always fun when you ride and share a meal with fellow riders!

After riding through the park, we exited out the front gate and stopped for lunch. Great Day!
