Ride 365
As the official Harley-Davidson® mileage recognition program for H.O.G.®, Ride 365 encompasses Lifetime Recognition, Annual Recognition and annual Chapter Challenges for its members. To participate, riders must visit an H-D dealership to have their odometer mileage validated in January.
Throughout the rest of the year, riders can return to have their mileage periodically checked, with their final December odometer reading representing a year’s worth of thrilling Harley motorcycle rides. Mileage tallies can also count towards a rider’s local H.O.G.® chapter tally so you can help your group win Ride 365’s Chapter Challenge for the year. Attend any of the following events to add a few more kilometres to your Ride 365 tally!
Riding The Sierras H.O.G.® Rally (May 29th to June 1st in Bakersfield, California, USA)
This touring ride of almost 500 km begins in Bakersfield and continues along beautiful scenic roads up through the San Joaquin Valley. To the east, you’ll see the Sierra Nevada mountain range on the horizon as you ride north through Jamestown and Fresno, ending in Sacramento. Riders also pass through several former Gold Rush towns, getting a healthy dose of California history.
Last Frontier H.O.G.® Rally (June 13th to June 15th in Palmer, Alaska, USA)
This rally lets riders who want to cross Alaska off their bucket list to ride through Southcentral Alaska. It takes place about 70 kilometres north of Anchorage in the area around the twin cities of Palmer and Wasilla, Alaska. The various rides showcase Alaska’s natural beauty, from the snowy mountaintops to the waters of the Knik Arm.
You may even get to experience some unique Alaskan wildlife sightings! Bonfires, food and entertainment take place at the Tug Bar & Liquor-Goose Bay Inn southwest of Wasilla to complete your Alaskan experience on your Harley motorcycle.
Rocky Mountain H.O.G.® Rally (June 27th to June 29th in Breckenridge, Colorado, USA)
If you’ve always dreamed of riding through the Rockies, here’s your chance! This rally starts at the base of the Tenmile Range so you’ll be able to admire Breckenridge’s historic downtown before starting your journey through the mountains. This year’s event centers around the Beaver Run Resort, which offers luxurious accommodations as well as easy access to plenty of other recreational activities.
Western Regional H.O.G.® Rally (July 4th to July 7th in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada)

Run To The Sun H.O.G.® Rally (August 13th to August 16th in Missoula, Montana, USA)
This new rally will start in Missoula, heading east to Great Falls for the first night’s stay, then north to allow riders to explore the beauty of Glacier National Park. The rally name reflects the name of the paved Going-To-The-Sun Road within the park. The highest point is Logan Pass, which rests on the Continental Divide as the highest point of the road. You’ll head back down south to Missoula the next day, but not before you see dozens of gorgeous lakes, waterfalls and mountains along the way!
Prairie Regional H.O.G.® Rally (August 15th to August 17th in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)
If you’d rather stay in the provinces in August, then head inland to Alberta for this three-day rally.
