Welcome to the 2025 Directors Ride for HOG 4668.

This year is another multiple day trip.  We are headed southeast through Ohio into West Virginia and staying in Ripley.  This ride will have lots of riding!  We are traveling mostly via highway to Ripley and then enjoying two solid days of the twisties and hills. We will be riding 400+ miles to get there and the same coming back on Sunday.

The rides choices have many possibilities, just to name a few:

  • The Talon/New River Gorge
  • Trail of Dragons
  • Lunatic Assylum Alley
  • WV 50 Rides 1 Nation Ride

Plus, countless other backroads we've never heard of.  We'll probably hit a unique dealership or two while down there.  Once Sunday comes we'll be on the road back to Michigan.  Here's the hotel information if you're interested.
