There is a lot going on at Orange Coast HOG. We are blessed to live in an area that allows riding year round with fantastic scenery. The desert, ocean and mountains are all literally minutes from each other. Just like we have a wonderful variety of locations to go on rides, we have a variety of ways for you to keep up with what the group is doing.

  • Email notifications – just put your email address in the “Get Site Updates By Email” box on the front page.
  • RSS Feeds – Just click on the Google or Yahoo link if you use their RSS reader services. That too is on the home page near the bottom.
  • Twitter – We’ve had our OCHOGRideAlerts twitter account for over a year, and that is absolutely the best way to keep up with last minute ride changes. But did you know we also have a Twitter feed that just updates you when there are new posts for ride maps, pictures, and more? Just click on the “Follow OCHOG” button either on the home page, or use the button below. For more info on follwing the Ride Alerts feed, see this page.
  • Facebook – Like our Orange Coast HOG Facebook page All site updates, and more, are posted there for you to see in your Facebook feed.
  • This Website – Do it old school by just checking the front page of the site regularly. You might be a day or two late, but you won’t miss anything. The 7 most recent posts are listed on the front page, and the rest are a search away using the search box.


Share Posts And Pages On Your Favorite Social Network

Now every page and post on OCHOG.org can be shared on one or more of your favorite social networks. Just click one of the icons in the “Share This” section of that page.

Look for links on the page similar to this to share the the page.

Right now, options include:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • Tumbler
  • Google+
  • LinkedIn

There are also two other buttons that allow you to email the link to someone or just print it out on paper if you want. Hopefully the new functionality will work well for you.

Get OCHOGRideAlert Updates On Your Phone

You can get our ride alerts on your phone. Almost as soon as the decision is made to cancel, modify or delay a ride, you will have that info right on your phone.

The service is free, but your carrier might charge you a nominal fee per message if you don’t have a text/SMS plan. Contact your carrier if you are unsure.

  • Send a text message to 40404 with the small message follow ochogridealert. That’s it! You may receive a confirmation from Twitter on your phone, as well as the last ride notice we sent out.
  • If you already have a Twitter account, that should be it. If you do not, you may get additional Tweets from Twitter recommending other Twitter users. Those do not come from OCHOG. You can sign up for a Twitter account for free and tell it to stop making suggestions, which I recommend doing.

You can see more detailed information about how this works here.
