There is a lot of riding going on this summer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Covid is not gone but the world is moving on and we’ll just live with it. Which is to say, after two years of not a lot of motorcycle rallies or events going on, it’s all back now. I’ve been much busier recently updating and adding events to my Rides and Rallies page<\/a> and I’m a little blown away by all the many events already announced. And we’re not even into the season yet.<\/p>\n

Let’s just look at a few.<\/p>\n

All the racing events are back on the calendar. You’ve got a series of vintage motocross races<\/a> set. And of course the big one, Monster Energy 2023 Supercross<\/a>. Plus, the Motorcycle Roadracing Association<\/a> is planning a full series of events, too.<\/p>\n

The annual Molly-Dharma Run is set for June 11. This event raises money for animal shelters and is always one of the most popular poker runs in the state.<\/p>\n

One I haven’t seen before is the Southwest Quest – Women’s Moto Retreat<\/a>. This event, in June, is a focus for women riders.<\/p>\n

In July the Christian Motorcyclists Association<\/a> is having its big gathering in Hotchkiss. And shortly after that the BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado is having its annual Top O the Rockies Rally<\/a> just down the road in Paonia.<\/p>\n

In August the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally<\/a> returns, and it’s a good one. Then there are a couple one-off things going on in September. The Rocky Mountain Motorcycle Museum<\/a>, in Colorado Springs, is having a 30-year anniversary celebration and that coincides with a Colorado stop-over by the Motorcycle Cannonball<\/a> event, which runs from coast to coast on really old machines every two years.<\/p>\n

Those are just some highlights. There will be plenty of poker runs and fundraisers planned by a wide range of organizations. Basically, any time you’re looking for something to do on your bike you’re likely to find something going on. So get out there and ride.<\/p>\n
