Well guys and gals one more year has passed and the annual Polar Bear Run is almost here once again on New Years Day. Sign up at 10:00- 12:00. As always it’ll start at the Portland, OR Cycle Gear on Stark with free hot chili, donuts, coffee and all the great conversation with fellow riders.

You will have the choice of three self guided routes Papa Bear, Mama Bear, or the Baby Bear.

My buddy and I will be there on our Royal Enfields. Come join us, it’ll be a day to remember as always!

Well the Polar Bear run was another great ride this year. A bit nippy at 25 degrees, but dry and clear. The free hot coffee and tea helped. Sadly no hot chili this year do to COVID restrictions. ☹ I rode the Himmy, the only RE I have that has a windscreen and my buddy rode his Intercepter 650. It was fun as always seeing all the different kinds of bikes and chatting with the riders.

We did the shorter Baby Bear route this year, not wanting to run into black ice in the shaded corners. The ending, as always, was at Jimmy O's Pizzeria in Oregon City. It was nice the owner came over to thank us for coming as it’s been difficult the last two years for many of the mom and pop restaurants. Good food, good ride and great conversation.  I can’t think of a better way to start off a new year.
