  Sierra Sidewinder

  The Sierra Sidewinder is going back to the Eastern Sierra in 2025 for a weekend of riding some of the Sierra's most beautiful roads and passes, including Sonora, Ebbitts, Kit Carson, maybe even Tioga.

  
  

  We've booked the entire Andruss Motel for our group. See additional details below under Lodging.

  
  

  

  
  

  Pre-event West Sierra NIght: Any riders coming up from LA area or Central Coast may also want to join us for a Thursday-night stop in Kingsburg, Calif. (obviously this is open to ANYONE). Feel free to book online for Thursday, Aug. 14 at Fairfield Inn & Suites in Kingsburg. This is on Hwy 99 just south of Fresno and will give us a great start on Friday’s ride through Yosemite and TIoga Pass. No motel arrangements made by COG, but I’m seeing nightly rates of $110 plus tax.

  
  

  FRIDAY RIDE OPTION:
  Friday’s ride from Kingsburg: We will be KSU at 8:30 a.m. (fed and fueled) from Kady’s Kitchen at 1701 Simpson St. in Kingsburg (restaurant opens at 5:30 a.m., so plenty of time to eat). From here, the latest thought is that we will ride north on secondary roads to 108 and Sonora Pass, then southwest from Bridgeport to lunch at the Village Cafe on the shore of Twin Lakes. (As an alternative, riders have the option of crossing the Sierra via Yosemite National Park and Hwy 120 through Tioga Pass. But that route is looking worse as summer gets rolling, so folks can take their pick - noting that there is currently a reservation system with reservations REQUIRED to pass through Yosemite.) Either way, we will be meeting for lunch in Twin Lakes and of course we will be having dinner in Walker. 
  
  

  Lodging

  Event Headquarters are at the Andruss Motel in Walker, Calif. — on the east side of the Sierra. The motel is holding all rooms for COG for the nights of Aug. 15 (Friday) and Aug. 16 (Saturday). They are giving us a nightly rate of $120 if paid in cash. There are a variety of different size room and all are the same cost (if paid in cash). Call them directly to book and tell them your are with COG — 530-495-2216

  Coast Range Ramble XIX 

  A little later in the summer than usual, but at least the weather should be great!
  
  

  We will meet at my house in Eugene for the traditional pre-ride breakfast (French toast, chicken-apple sausages, fruit salad, and lots of coffee). Once our bellies are full we’ll head out, running along an assortment of back roads to Alsea then head west to Waldport via scenic, twisty Hwy 34.

  After lunch at LeRoy’s Blue Whale in Yachats, we’ll head down Hwy 101 to Florence, then return to Eugene via 126, 36, and some other back roads. Riders from the North may wish to split off after lunch and find their own way home.

  Breakfast is at 8:30AM, we start riding promptly at 9:30AM. Please text or e-mail if you plan to attend the ride, breakfast, or both. I have a spare bed and lots of floor space for anyone who wants to ride in the night before or leave Sunday morning.

  Ken McClurg Honor Ride 

  Many of you know Ken McClurg - long-time COG member, former Area Director, and Wisconsin AAD. Ken has reached the end of the usefulness of hospitalizations for his congestive heart failure, and was recently admitted to a home hospice program following discharge from his most recent hospital stay. 

  Ken has given so much to COG, and we would like to honor him with a ride on August 23rd that will run through Coon Valley, WI, and make a stop at his home to allow those able to join the ride to talk with Ken. This ride will take the place of the annual Baraboo Hills Ride.

  We will meet at the Culver's in Spring Green, WI, at 11:00 a.m., and ride some great roads west to Coon Valley for Ken and Karon's famous Chili lunch and time to chat with Ken.

  Many of you recall that Ken's tagline on his emails used to say:

  "LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL-PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING 'HOLY SHIT... WHAT A RIDE!'"

  Well, Ken's getting his wish. Hope you can join me on this ride to honor Ken and his generous spirit.

  Run with the Wolf

  
  
  The 2025, 31st edition of Run with the Wolf is open for registration! The messaging is the same as previous rally's, but please read through the below!
  
  

  Sept 4 - 7, 2025. Come a little early or stay a little late. It's all good. The official rally is Sept 5 & 6, 2025, kicking off on Friday morning and starts at check-in. It ends at mid-night on Saturday.   

  
  

  Food
  Included in the rally fee is a Saturday night banquet BBQ dinner catered by the TWoS staff.  Remember to wear the wristband you will receive at check-in to the banquet dinner (no wristband = no dinner). Having a headcount is also crucial for the TWoS staff to plan for our meal (so please try to register early!).  

  TWoS Restaurant will serve for general folks outside out of our rally Friday - Sunday.  So, if you're coming early, plan accordingly!  All other meals are at your cost.

  Friday
  Dinner: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

  Saturday
  Breakfast: 8:00 am - 10:30 am

  Camping & Lodging
  Camping 
  

  Two Wheels of Suches (TWoS), also known as TWO (Two Wheels Only), has 3 

  

  camp sites that will have electricity available for those who need it (e.g., if you have a CPAP or a need where electricity is important to your health).  Otherwise, wide open fields, tree cover, creek view spots are all over.

  
  

  You don't need to make reservations if you are tent camping as usual. TWoS is currently at $20 per night camping on the grounds. 

  
  

  Cabins
  TWoS also has 8 cabins available for booking.  These will go fast, if not already gone, so make your reservation as soon as possible.  Again, keep an eye on the thread as beds or cabins do come up.  Cabin rates are currently at $70 per night.
  
  Lodge Rooms
  TWoS also has a limited number of lodge rooms available on a first come, first served basis.  Make your reservations early for a lodge room or a cabin if you don't plan to tent camp.  Mention COG when booking a cabin or lodge room.  Ditto on above, they are currently booked for the event already so if looking for one, keep an eye on the threads for someone canceling.  Lodgerates are at $80 per night.

  
  

  To check on availability or make a reservation for one of the cabins or a lodge room, use TWoS' new online booking system at https://twowheelsofsuches.com/contact-us/ or call (706) 973-1671.  Plus, you can actually see a picture of our group on their home page during one of our banquets!  How cool are we?  

  
  
  

  
  

  RV Parking
  There is limited RV parking but NO hookups at TWoS.  If you need/want hookups, there are other camping resorts nearby.  Please google those.
  

  
  

  Event Swag 
  

  

  RWTW T-shirts are available to purchase here:
  https://harrymartin.threadless.com/designs/31st-annual-run-with-the-wolf 

  Registration/Fees 
  Registration fee is $35.00 for COG Members/Associate Members, and $45.00 for guests and non-members (including Forum-Only subscribers).

  T-shirt design and purchase process will be posted soon! 

  When you arrive, look for the COG check-in point on the deck to the left of the lodge.  At check-in, you will receive a wristband that will be needed for the banquet dinner on Saturday.  And a couple goodies to carry home in your saddle bag.  Looking forward to seeing you there!
  
  Registration closes at 11:59 pm (EDT) on August 22, 2025. This is so Skip, Carol and the team at TWoS can plan, order and get the banquet set up. Slight change of the meal this year. Going with... a bit of a change!

  Cancellation/Refund Policy 
  Cancellations must be received no later than Friday, August 29, 2025 by emailing events@concours.org. There will be no refunds for cancellations received after August 29, 2025.

  A Statement About Minors 
  

  As some of you may already know, getting insurance for COG events has become more difficult and is requiring many new risk management procedures. The North Central Area Director Gary Mazzola has been working hard to help get COG through these new challenges. The amount of time he has spent on the phone working things out must be staggering. These new procedures and requirements are not specific to COG, but are for all groups getting insurance through the AMA insurance provider.
  
  One of the many changes is the waiver process for minors.
  
  Minors attending a COG rally MUST have a waiver signed by BOTH PARENTS. Guardian (signatures) are not acceptable. What this means for example is, Uncles and Grandparents cannot show up with a child and sign the waiver as a guardian for the child. It also means that any parent that is not attending the event in person must send a signed and notarized waiver to the event. (this is not a COG rule, it is a rule of the underwriters.) Whether the minor is riding or not riding at the event, is not a factor. Attending the event is the factor. So, to be clear, if a father shows up with a child under the age of 18, he must both sign the minor waiver himself AND supply a notarized signed copy from the mother as well. The AMA waiver form itself has not been updated and still mentions "Guardians", however the insurance company has been very clear in the form that COG (me in the SE case) has to fill out to get the insurance:
  

  BOTH PARENTS MUST SIGN THE WAIVER (UNLESS ONE PARENT INDICATES THEY HAVE SOLE CUSTODY). IF NOT PRESENT AT THE EVENT, A NOTARIZED WAIVER MUST BE PROVIDED AND SIGNED BY BOTH PARENTS. A GUARDIAN CANNOT SIGN FOR A MINOR PARTICIPANT.

  
  I have no idea if any minors are in people's plans to attend COG events but we have had minors show up to COG events in the past and I wanted this out in time to comply with the requirements.
  
  The waiver is attached and is also available for download at the AMA website: https://americanmotorcyclist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AMA-Minor-Recreation.pdf
  
  Thank you for your understanding.
  
  Just a suggestion for your consideration:
  It would be a good practice to have medical information available that would remain available with a parent/guardian or on the child's person. The attached form is a guide and is not intended to be shared with COG nor the AMA, it is only to be supplied to attending medical personnel if needed. You should keep it with you while you are riding or at the event.

  It's also a good idea for all adult attendees to have with them, perhaps kept with their drivers license or medical insurance card. Perhaps a list of medications on the back of the form wouldn't be a terrible idea. These are things that would be easier to do at home before the event. https://americanmotorcyclist.com/wp.../02/20_Emergency-Medical-Information-Form.pdf

  The Spider Ride
  

  Please mark your calendars and plan on joining us for the COG 2025 Spider Ride. Once again, ride headquarters will be at the Huzzah Valley Resort (Pavilion #2). The Huzzah Valley Resort (Map) is located approximately 8 miles east of Steelville, Missouri on MO-Route 8 at the Huzzah Creek (Big Red Barn).

  Note: In past years, many rally attendees have arrived and set up camp on Thursday. While I also plan to arrive on Thursday, please note that the rally officially begins on Friday. 

  
  

  
  

  Camping
  

  For 2025 we will once again have our campground located near the grassy area around the larger Pavilion #2 (red circle on left side of the illustration below).  This will allow everyone who is camping or staying in one of the cabins to be in the same space.  This move will bring everyone easier and closer access to meals and the evening campfire.  All meals will again be served at pavilion #2.  Please pay your camping fee (~$16.00/night - still need to confirm the rate for 2025) at the OFFICE upon arrival.  New flush toilets and pay showers are available and close to this camping area.

  
  

  
  

  Click on map for a larger image - Pavilion #2 is to the left of the Horse Pasture

  
  

  Lodging
  Huzzah Valley has cabins for rent. Check their website (https://huzzahvalley.com) or call (1-800-367-4516) for more information and availability. There are also motels close by in Cuba and Potosi, Missouri.
  
  Riding
  Pretty damn good! That's why we're here.  Maps and routes will be available.  See example routes below. 
  
  Food (check back this summer for final details)

  

  For 2025, all dinners (including Saturday) will be served in Pavilion #2
  Friday Evening - Burgers & Brats, baked beans and potato salad
  Saturday Evening - Pork steaks, baked potato, corn on the cob, side salad, and apple cobbler

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Friday, Saturday & Sunday morning - Coffee and breakfast sandwiches

  Muskoka Ride and Rendezvous 

  This COG event in South Central Ontario Canada. Muskoka is a beautiful area in the province of Ontario in Canada. It's a popular and picturesque place to getaway in, that's second to none, with a long and rich history.

  Muskoka extends from Georgian Bay in the west to the western border of Algonquin Provincial Park in the east, and to Severn Bridge in the south. It's just a two-hour drive north of the city of Toronto on Hwy 400. Muskoka spans 6,475 square km (2,500 sq. mi.).

  Earlier in the spring of 2025, we started to plan a third weekend ride through Muskoka, where the paved highways and roads are intertwined with at least 10 major lakes and approximately 100 smaller lakes - too many to count.

  The roads are well-mapped and marked. There is no shortage of curves, some so tight that if you don't pay attention to the recommended speed, you might find yourself in the ditch if there is one.

  The Riding Area  
  

  Suggested riding routes will be provided because the size of the Muskoka area and multiple routes. There will not be any guided tours.   

  GPS routes will be made available as they are produced. Please check the Northeast Events Forum. 

  Lodging Options
  

  The Rendezvous central will be at the Pinedale Inn on Gull Lake, Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada.

  To guarantee a spot at the Inn, call to make a reservation.

  200 Pinedale Lane, Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada P1P 1B4
  (705) 687-2822
  www.pinedalemotel.com

  The Pinedale has a nice web site for more information also there are lots of other options in the area if needed. 

  Food 
  

  Your registration fee will include dinner on Saturday, and the menus are still being worked out. Here is the current thinking on the menu: burgers and salads, but we reserve the right to change it. There are also many restaurants within walking distance or a short ride of the Pinedale Inn. 

  Bottled water, pop, and coffee will be provided, and coolers with ice will be available for anyone who wants to, can BYOB. 

  Registration/Fees
  

  All registrations will take place online. While there is no fee to register, we kindly ask attendees to contribute $60 per person at the Pinedale Inn to help offset the cost of food and non-alcoholic beverages provided during the weekend. Registration will close at 11:59 PM on Friday, August 1st.

  Cancellation Policy 
  

  If you need to cancel your registration, you can do so independently (online) until August 1st.

  The Island Ride

  Bob has agreed to host the Island ride again this year. He has sleeping accommodations in his shop on a cot or limited camping area on his property. There are some accommodations available on the island which you would need to arrange yourself. The Ferry to Lopez Island is the tricky part. Usually the ride takes place on Saturday and you are free to head home or attend the Oyster Run motorcycle rally in Anacortes on Sunday. Bob does not have a computer or cell phone, so call his landline with questions. He will need to know if you are staying on his property or not, and how many nights.

  Please call Bob at (360) 468-3123 to secure your overnight spot. You can leave a message and he will return your call.

  Registration & Fees 
  Registration will be done online through the COG website.  There are no registration fees, but we're asking everyone to register online so we have a headcount.

  The Hunt for Red October
  

  
  

  Join us for the 31st running of The Hunt for Red October - Wisconsin's largest and most anticipated ride of the season! This annual tradition brings together riders for a weekend of great roads, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories in the heart of southwestern Wisconsin's Driftless Area. 

  Friday Night Arrival (Optional) - October 10

  If you're arriving Friday night, plan to gather at the Don Q Inn in Dodgeville, WI. We'll likely order a few pizzas and pass the hat to cover costs - just a casual way to kick off the weekend with good company.

  Saturday Ride & Meetup - October 11

  If you can't make it Friday night, no worries - join us Saturday between 12:00 - 1:00 PM at the:

  Sparta Family Restaurant

  Located at I-90 & Hwy 27

  Sparta, WI

  (View Map)

  We'll grab lunch together before breaking into smaller ride groups for an afternoon exploring scenic backroads. All routes lead back to the Don Q Inn, where we'll cap off the day with a catered banquet dinner and prize drawings.

  Just want to check things out? 
  

  Unable to commit the full weekend? That's totally fine. If you're curious about the event - or just want to meet some fellow riders - stop by the Sparta Family Restaurant between noon and 1:00 pm on Saturday. It's a great chance to grab lunch with the group, put faces to names, swap stories, kick a few tires, and maybe even tag along for part of the afternoon ride. No pressure - just good people, good roads, and an easy way to see what COG events are all about.

  Camping

  Primitive camping is available on site. Caesar Creek Campground (tents and RVs) and Olive Branch Campground (RV/Cabins) are close by.  

  I have space for 2-3 tents in my yard, and can provide shower facilities.

  There are no registration fees, but I am asking people to register online so I have an idea of how many people to expect and can plan Brunch accordingly.

  Update 03/15-2025: The Big Bend Ride the Twisties is cancelled for 2025. Look for a couple Meet N Greet events to pop up in Alpine, TX during the same 3rd weekend in October 2025. 

  -- Martin Cobb

  2025 COG BBRTT (Big Bend Ride the Twisties)

  

  BBRTT returns in 2025 in Alpine Texas for great tire scrubbing and fellowship.  We return to the Highland Inn in Alpine, TX:

  Highland Inn
  1404 East Hwy 90
  Alpine, TX 79830
  Phone: 432-837-5811

  Plan on going to the Reata or a local restaurant of your choice on Friday evening.  

  The fire pit will be fully engaged and we will plan for a meal (probably pizza) on Saturday evening on the hotel grounds.  

  

  This location offers the best riding logistics in the Trans-Pecos with access to Big Bend NP, the legendary River Road FM 170, and the Davis Mountains.

  Any questions, feel free to email or call me at the contact info provided below. 

  See you in Alpine!
  
  Marty

  
  

  Registration/Fees 
  There is no registration fee.  However, we're asking everyone to register online so we have an idea of how many people to expect for pizza.

  Reata Alpine Meet 'n' Greet

  
  

  This will be a COG Meet 'n' Greet event, wear some COG gear if you have it so we will know you. Everyone will be responsible for their own check. Please register and that way we will be able to make a reservation with a head count and lessen the wait time for a table. Reata Alpine's Dinner Menu

  Since this is an evening event it is strongly suggested that participants secure lodging in town and not attempt to ride home after the event. I will be staying at the Highland Inn on the east side of town and probably making the 20 minute walk to the restaurant from there.
