MotorCity H.O.G. Chapter Ride – Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary (Athens, MI)

Join us on Sunday, September 13, 2026 for a unique chapter ride to the Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary in Athens, Michigan — a rescue and rehabilitation facility home to dozens of alligators and other reptiles.

We’ll meet at MotorCity Harley‑Davidson at 9:30 AM, with KSU at 9:45 AM, then head west on a scenic back‑roads route. The ride is approximately 115 miles, taking about 2 hours and 34 minutes, not including a rest and refueling stop about halfway.

Once at the sanctuary, members and guests can enjoy close‑up viewing areas, educational demonstrations, and a safe, family‑friendly environment.

General admission is $14.95 (adult), $13.95 (senior/first responders/veterans). All members and guests are welcome.
