Road Captains

Wild Prairie Chapter #4428 of H.O.G. was formed to bring together Harley Davidson motorcycle owners that share a love of riding. The primary activity of the Chapter is group rides. Road Captains provide leadership for group rides and promote safe group riding in a fun atmosphere. If you are interested in becoming a Road Captain, Contact the Head Road Captain.

Chapter rides are designed and led by Road Captains with safety being the primary focus. Each Road Captain is experienced in group riding techniques ensuring Chapter Rides are fun, enjoyable and safe.

At the beginning of each ride the Road Captain conducts a pre-ride meeting lasting 3 to 5 minutes covering the details of the ride including but not limited to rest stops, hand signal review and the Chapter NO ALCOHOL policy. The Road captain will also review the “staggered” riding position and ask if there are any riders in the group that are new to group riding.
