Washington motorcycle events, rallies and bike nights

These come around most years. Dates change year to year, so check the organizer before you plan.

• The Oyster RunUsually on the last Sunday in September, riders from all over the Northwest roll into Anacortes for a free, informal gathering. No registration, just ride in. Expect heavy traffic on SR 20 coming onto Fidalgo Island.
• Supercross in SeattleAMA Supercross has held a round at Lumen Field in Seattle in most recent seasons, usually in spring. A stadium race to watch, not a ride. Check the series schedule for this year.
• The Distinguished Gentleman's RideEvery May, riders dress sharp on classic and vintage-style bikes and ride to raise money for men's health. Seattle, Spokane and other Washington cities usually hold rides. Register on the DGR site.
• Holiday toy runsToy runs and charity rides happen around Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Spokane and smaller towns in late fall and December, weather permitting. Most are posted by clubs and dealers.

Big gatherings are a few times a year. Bike nights and meets are every week in summer, and they're how you find riders to ride with. The live list right after this section shows upcoming Washington events on the Rippin' map.

1. 1

   Open Meets

   Open the meets and events list. It covers bike nights, meets, rallies, swap meets, charity rides and toy runs.

2. 2

   Set your area

   Pick Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Bellingham, Spokane or wherever you ride. Events show nearest first, and repeating meets show their next date.

3. 3

   RSVP

   Tap RSVP so the organizer knows you're coming and riders can see who else is going.

4. 4

   Ride in together

   Start a group ride so everyone is on one live map, even when the ferry splits the group.

Washington's events map is thin today, which means a bike night you post gets seen. Any rider can post an event for free.

1. 1

   Create the event

   Add the name, time, place and a short note on what to expect.

2. 2

   Make it repeat

   A weekly summer bike night or a monthly breakfast ride can repeat, so you post it once.

3. 3

   Share it

   Send it to your squad and post it to the feed. Riders RSVP from the app.

• Confirm the date and entry with the organizer the week before. Plans change.
• Leave early for the Oyster Run. Traffic onto Fidalgo Island backs up, and parking fills fast.
• Check the ferry schedule if your route crosses the Sound, and plan for summer waits.
• Check the passes on WSDOT if you're crossing the Cascades early or late in the season.
• Pack rain gear. Even a September Sunday can turn wet.
• Share a ride plan with your squad so everyone knows the departure time, route and stops.
