A reminder to log your mileage for HOG’s Ride 365 program… The next time you ride into Sandy’s Harley-Davidson, have an employee check your mileage and enter it into Ride 365. You can earn more than patches and pins – ride enough miles and you can earn $50 and $100 H-D gift cards! Paul Blotske, our regional HOG manager, tells us that there’s been confusion about the connection between the H-D Riding App and HOG’s Ride 365 program. “While the H-D Riding App is a great resource for keeping track of miles ridden, it is not connected directly to the Ride 365 program. Miles or challenges logged on the app will not be automatically entered into Ride 365. Entry into Ride 365 mileage and riding challenges must still be done through official dealership mileage readings.”

A reminder to log your mileage for HOG’s Ride 365 program… The next time you ride into Sandy’s Harley-Davidson, have an employee check your mileage and enter it into Ride 365. You can earn more than patches and pins – ride enough miles and you can earn $50 and $100 H-D gift cards! Paul Blotske, our regional HOG manager, tells us that there’s been confusion about the connection between the H-D Riding App and HOG’s Ride 365 program. “While the H-D Riding App is a great resource for keeping track of miles ridden, it is not connected directly to the Ride 365 program. Miles or challenges logged on the app will not be automatically entered into Ride 365. Entry into Ride 365 mileage and riding challenges must still be done through official dealership mileage readings.”
The 2023 Ride Schedule is now available at www.fremonthog2232.com/calendar.html. There is also a printable PDF you can download. Print copies are available at Sandy’s.
