Polar Bear Ride

HOG Chapter 808 held its 3rd Annual Polar bear Ride today, 01/28/06. We were a little disappointed in the weather because it wasn’t cold enough. Oh well, the ride was great and the company was better. There were 21 bikes and 26 rides that left Macon headed west on GA 74. Our destination was “The Bulloch House Restaurant” in Warm Springs GA. Fitting location for the Polar Bear Ride don’t you think? It is a nice 70 mile ride on winding roads from Macon to Warm Springs. We did our best to empty the all you can buffet. Nice friendly folks and great country food. You need to check it out. The link to eatery is below.

Ride to Buckner’s

Gathering at the Harley Dealership





Wow, what a way to start the New Year! Members of the Macon H.O.G. Chapter started gathering at the Macon Harley Dealership around 9 AM. They arrived one by one and in groups of four, five, and six bikes. One group left Dublin, GA. at sunrise just to join in on the fun. The final head count was 40. The weather cooperated. We hit the road with cloudy skies and a temperature in the mid 50’s. It was a beautiful ride. We took the back roads leaving the Harley Dealership on GA 74; west to 341 north to 36 north. The traffic was very mild. This was a big help in keeping all the bikes together.




Buckner's parking lot after we arrived



We arrived at Buckner’s Restaurant at 11:00 AM, just as they opened the doors. Our timing proved to be crucial. We were the second of several motorcycle groups to enjoy Buckner’s southern hospitality. By the time we finished our meal the parking lot was full but the bikers were still coming.




chow time!!




The Atlanta H.O.G. chapter came thundering in with 90 bikes and this was the second group to arrive sporting a head count just shy of 100.


The parking lot after we ate, well over 300 bikes

I highly recommend you stop in on your next trip north. If you take I-75 jump off at exit 201; Buckner’s is only a block away. This home cookin’ is well worth the trip. Oh, I recommend you arrive HUNGRY. Dinner is $11.95 per person so eat till you pop, I did!
