Ride Challenge 2025

The Ride Challenge 2025 invites DHOG Members to explore the beautiful state of Texas. Participants are to capture photographs featuring their motorcycle alongside Texas railroad depots or train stations throughout the state. Mass transit railway stations such as DART Stations do NOT qualify. This challenge encourages riders to enjoy the open road while celebrating Texas's rich rail heritage.

Rules for Participation:

1. Photo Requirements:

- At least 1/2 of your motorcycle must be included in each picture.

- Each qualifying photo will earn participants one point.

2. Submission Criteria:

- Participants must submit qualifying pictures to the email address [email protected].

- Each email must include:

- The date the photo was taken.

- The specific location of the depot/station.

3. Point Eligibility:

- To qualify as a finisher, participants must submit a minimum of 25 qualifying points (pictures).

4. Riding in Pairs:

- For those riding two-up (two riders on one bike), results for the top three prizes will be counted as a single entry.

- Both riders will receive patches upon reaching the 25-point milestone.

5. Photographic Approval:

- The challenge coordinator holds the final discretion on whether submitted photographs meet the participation requirements.

6. Prizes:

- Awards will be given to the participants with the top three highest point totals.

- In case of ties for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, a card draw will determine the winner.

- If a tie occurs for the first place, then the person drawing the highest card will win, and the person drawing the lowest card in that session will move to 2ndplace.
