- Season kickoff and charity runsSpring brings blessing-of-the-bikes events, season kickoff rides and charity runs hosted by clubs, dealers and shops across the valley. Most are posted locally a few weeks out.

Racing and road trips
Racing, track days and rallies a ride away
Portland International Raceway hosts motorcycle club racing and track days, and Oregon Raceway Park near Grass Valley, east of the Cascades, runs track days on a dry, open circuit. Both are where speed belongs.
For a big rally, Oregon riders head north to the Oyster Run in Anacortes, Washington, a free gathering usually held in late September, or south and east to Street Vibrations in Reno, Nevada, in the fall. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota in August is a classic long ride from Oregon. Check each organizer for dates.

Post your Oregon motorcycle event
Oregon's events map is thin today, which means a bike night you post gets seen. Any rider can post an event for free.
Shops, clubs and brands that host a lot of events can use Organizer Pro ($8.99/mo) for unlimited and recurring meets, official events on the calendar and recurring ride plans. A shop or cafe that hosts a bike night can also become a poker stop, so every rider who shows up gets a card. More on motorcycle events in Rippin'.

Seasons
Oregon's motorcycle event calendar, by season
Winter (December to February): Toy runs in December, and indoor shows in Portland when they're on. Most outdoor events pause for the rain.
Spring (March to May): Season kickoff rides, swap meets and the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in May. Pick dry days; the weather is still mixed.
Summer (June to August): Peak season. Weekly bike nights, club rides over the Cascades once the summer roads open, and track days.
Fall (September to November): Some of the best riding of the year in September, the Oyster Run just over the Washington line, then charity runs before the rain settles in. See the best time to ride in Oregon.

- Pack rain gear, even in June. West-side weather turns fast.
- Check the passes on ODOT TripCheck if you're crossing the Cascades early or late in the season.
- Watch for smoke in August and September, which can cancel rides and close roads.
- Share a ride plan with your squad so everyone knows the departure time, route and stops.
