Discover Colorado Challenge

Discover Colorado Challenge

1. Pikes Peak HOG Chapter has developed a program to reward those members for accomplishing unique sites to Colorado. The challenge stops change every other year so you can see more of what Colorado has to offer.  Each year you achieve 15 or more locations; you will receive a rocker to accessorize the original patch received annually.

2. The challenge begins January 1st and ends November 1st so we can present the awards at the annual Christmas Party.

  1. If you complete the challenge prior to November 1st, you can submit your photos and completed form to Challenges@PPHOG.com.

3. To qualify, the rider (and passenger if applicable) will take a photograph of the person and as much of the bike as possible in front of the Colorado Location being completed along with the current year’s HOG Tour Book Cover (download from hog.com if needed). Some locations might not be accessible to get your bike and yourself in the picture, so take a picture with your gear on and the book at the location.  Laminating a copy or keeping your book in a Ziplock bag will help against the elements.  It is important for the competitor to get the right picture for the completion.  The form for submitting your accomplishments is located on the PPHOG website and must accompany the pictures.  The pictures and completion form should be emailed to Challenges@PPHOG.com       .

  1. Please be aware of your surroundings when taking pictures to ensure safety.
  2. Some locations might have gravel in the parking area, so use caution with your Jiffy Stand and footing.

4. As a safety reminder, competitors will be traveling all across Colorado and weather conditions can change rapidly and dramatically throughout the course of the ride on any given day.
