Drum roll please. And the winners areâ¦

The Harley Owners Group is pleased to announce the results of the 2023 Chapter Total Mileage and Average Miles per Chapter Member challenges. The national winner awards go to Cajun Chapter Lafayette LA, whose members rode a cumulative 2,141,221 miles, and Boneyard Chapter Winterville NC, whose members each rode on average 14,829.7 miles. Wow. Those are some incredible numbers that show just how passionate those chapters and their members are about riding and how committed they are to working together to accomplish a common goal.

Each of these chapters, along with the top chapter in each region, will receive a Ride 365 Chapter Recognition Event hosted by their H.O.G. Regional Manager and a commemorative plaque to their achievements. See below for a complete list of regional winners.

I get a lot of questions throughout the year about these challenges and what it takes to be successful in them. Hereâs the best advice I have: Get every member of your chapter to enter the annual mileage challenge each year and make sure they get at least two odometer readings during the year, preferably one as early as possibly after January 1 and another late in the year close to December 31. These readings are critical because they are the only official way to track entries and mileage in these challenges.

Each year after we close the books and begin the audit process, we are disheartened to find thousands of members who logged a âzeroâ in our system for annual mileage. Of course that doesnât mean they rode zero miles, but it does mean they did not get credit for any miles ridden in that calendar year, which also means their chapter didnât get credit for those miles in the challenges. Getting your members in the habit of having odometer readings taken on a regular basis is the best way to avoid this disappointment.

The annual mileage challenges are an exciting part of the Ride 365 program for chapters, but there many more elements to the program that bring great value to our members. Read below for a summary of the highlights, including some recent changes that have made it even easier and more rewarding to participate. You can find all these details and more on the recently revised Ride 365 program page here. I encourage you to study how Ride 365 works and use it to encourage your members to ride more often and to take full advantage of its benefits and rewards.

Good luck in this yearâs challenges, and as always, thanks for everything you do to make the Harley Owners Group the biggest and best riding club in the world.
