Our main purpose is to encourage and support the enjoyment of riding!
|
|
MEETINGS Breakfast meetings, each followed by a ride, are usually held the first Sunday of every month from September to May (in June, July and August, we assume you won't want to take time off from riding to go to a meeting!). Meetings occur at various locations in the Puget Sound area, and feature presentations by industry professionals and safety experts, as well as reports by Club Board Members and event coordinators.

|
EVENTS AND RIDES September through May, the Club sponsors group day rides on the first and sometimes the third Sunday of each month. Other special events include:
|
- An annual Club Ride, a ride-it-your-way informal contest highlighting points of interest across Washington State;
|
|
- Snow Camp, a regional event sponsored by South Sound BMW and the BMW Riders Association, held at the Sahara Horse Camp just outside Mt. Rainier National Park every January.
|
- A winter getaway weekend to Long Beach WA, normally in February, is an opportunity for members (who often come on 4 wheels) to meet and commiserate, and maybe fly a kite.
|
- Rain Run, which kicks off the “official” riding season in April with a ride to Manzanita on the Oregon coast. There's great riding to and from Manzanita, and varied activities while there - dinner, breakfast, sometimes a campfire on the beach.
|
- May and June usually feature Club campouts, hosted by a club Member or held at a campground. These meetings are often held in Eastern Washington to take advantage of the warm weather.
|
- The riding year peaks with the Cascade Country Rendezvous, our annual rally, held in July. The rally typically draws about 200 riders who share and enjoy good food, fantastic riding, field events, an awards ceremony, camping (or a nice hotel) and always great camaraderie.
|
- The "Turkey Run" ride after the November meeting ends with dinner at a member's house, where some lucky rider gets a free Thanksgiving turkey.

IN ADDITION to these events, many members participate individually in charitable rides, “runs’ sponsored by other groups, and other regional events such as the toy run, the Veteran's Day parade in Auburn, and the occasional vintage moto events. Ideas are always welcome on how to help the community and enhance motorcycling’s image.
