Road Captain

Welcome to the Road Captains page. My name is

Harley Carey and I am the 2012 Head Road Captain.

A lot can happen on the road to anywhere, there are

things to cherish, things to avoid, and things to learn

from. Being a Hot Springs HOG member means

making the most of every ride - and every ride should

be a safe ride. At Hot Springs HOG we want to

“Ride and have Fun”. But, in order to have fun riding

in a group, we have to be safe and that means having

good, well-qualified Road Captains. Riding is at the

core of our Chapter and the first step to our rides is

planning and taking the lead. Our Road Captains are

the ones who plan and lead our rides providing a

“Safe and Fun” ride for our Chapter. Below are our

Road Captains and links to information about our

rides.

What is a Road Captain and how does he or she fit

into the intricate hierarchy of the HOG chapter?

First of all, let's look at the main reason the HOG

exist. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE. That's it! Plain

and simple. Everything we do, every event or activity

is centered on riding our Harley Davidson

Motorcycles. Whether it be riding to a chapter

meeting or spending several days on the road going to

a National HOG Rally.

A certain amount of planning and pre-ride effort goes

into a chapter ride and it is the duty of the Road

Captain to assist the ride leader before and during

the ride. If you are new to group riding, or experience

a road side problem during a ride, a Road Captain will

be there to assist you. The Road Captain is also an

experienced rider who know how to ride safely in a

wide variety of conditions and is there to share that

knowledge with anyone who wants it.

The Hot Springs HOG Road Captains are people who

have displayed those attributes and volunteered to

help out on many rides we have each year. Many of

the rides are led by Road Captains but every member

of the chapter has the opportunity to lead a ride if

they so choose. Just let us know where you want to

go and we'll help set it up.
