Given the prevailing weather condition all weekend, it was tempting to designate some rain-related theme music for the fi nal overnighter on the 2011 OCHOG ride calendar. However, in consideration of the Scandinavian destination of this overnighter, the best theme music I can conjure up is the famous orchestral piece “Ride of the Valkyries” from one of Wagner’s operas: “bum bada bum bum, bum bada BUM, bum bada BAH bum, bum bada bum.” I really can’t tie a Wagnerian opera and Norse mythology to anything having to do with our HOG, but valkyries are Norwegian, Solvang is Danish, we’ve got “Ride” in the title, and the music is as appropriate to a valiant ride in the rain as anything Steppenwolf or Bob Seger ever performed. So cue the orchestra ...
Day 1, Anaheim to Solvang
Forty bikes congregated at “It’s a Grind” in Anaheim for a prompt departure at 7:00 AM. Carlos led the ride today. When we left the parking lot, it was dark, and rain was falling. Considering the hysteria with which the local TV weathermen were consumed the past couple days forecasting Friday’s conditions, it was impressive to see as many riders turn out as there were.
I’ve written a lot of articles for rides whose routes exit town on the 210 through Pasadena on a weekday morning. In an effort to come up with something fresh to describe the mess, I could dive into a thesaurus and try new words and ways to describe the cluster-you-know-what that it is — you know, words like bedlam, chaos, pandemonium, fi asco — but it’s just not worth it. So, in the interest of brevity, to understand how the fi rst get-out-of-town forty miles of the ride went, see past HOG LOG issues July, 2010 “Summer Cruise,”
October, 2010 “Fall Cruise,” June, 2011 “Three Rivers,” or July 2011 “Summer Cruise”. It’s all the same. It never changes. Today, just add rain.
Despite jotting notes at gas stops and lunch, the morning was a blur. It was a typical OCHOG Day 1 overnighter route: ride freeways as necessary to get out of town, then as soon as possible get off the beaten path onto canyons and back roads and stay there as long as required before hitting the highway again to make more progress toward the hotel. Then repeat. The morning route featured a lot of turns through the Santa Monica mountains and the area between Ojai and Santa Barbara. Even though the rain let up for a while, the canyons were still wet with organic debris and fallen rocks on the road which made for cautious going along some stretches. Frail wisps of ground fog crept up from the road as the sun warmed the pavement faster than the surrounding air. In the interest of time and no doubt safety, a twisty passage over Mulholland was scrapped in favor of a direct route down to PCH via Las Virgenes Road (which becomes Malibu Canyon Road). This shortened the day’s route by ten miles.
Coming down Malibu Canyon is where ocean views fi rst presented themselves. Today, the ocean was dark and agitated by the passing front. Heavy, occluding clouds hung low over the road, yet visibility straight offshore was virtually unlimited. From the beach at Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz Island, the closest and largest of the channel islands standing twenty-fi ve miles offshore, might as well have been fi ve miles away today as large and visible as it was from the wind-clarifi ed air and the weird tunnel perspective the overhead clouds created.
Lunch was on the Santa Barbara pier. Not “near” the pier ... ON the pier, as our marauding gang of forty rode up the wet wooden planking of the pier and parked in one of the valet lots over the ocean. Everyone scattered for an hour to any of a dozen eateries, then staged at a Chevron station a mile away. By some miracle, we all fi t into the tiny station, then by a bigger miracle managed to make it out via a left turn across traffi c, through a green light, and a left turn onto northbound 101 one hundred percent, no breaks in the group.
Without question, the best riding today occurred after lunch up 101 along the shoreline, off at Hwy 1 toward Lompoc just past the big northward bend at Gaviota, followed by a jaunt across Santa Rosa Road which links Hwy 1 and 101 to take us into Buellton and shortly thereafter Solvang. The sun was out, sky clear, wind brisk, and we rode the same spirited way a frisky horse reacts to a cool breeze. Santa Rosa Road is a two-lane road, seventeen miles in length, which cuts through the Santa Ynez Valley just beneath the Santa Rosa Hills that form the southern fl ank of the valley. Through a fertile setting reminiscent of the Salinas Valley up north, the road meanders along, skirting the edge of agricultural fi elds, transiting groves and vineyards. Along the way, there are occasional elevated views into multi-hued adjoining valleys sharply colored today in orange and green, yellow and umber against a sapphire blue sky dotted with billowy white clouds. What a fun road! We rode single fi le, rarely braking except once when everything came to a stop as Carlos decided to respect the capriciousness of a herd of young cattle sprinting parallel to our path beside the road.
We arrived at the hotel in Solvang about 4:00 PM after a 262-mile ride through rain, wind, cold, and wet via freeways, canyons, coastal routes, and vineyards. Other than a short-lived epidemic of low-speed dropped bike syndrome (I saw two and heard of two more), it was a good day and a great ride. The hot tub was unusually relaxing this afternoon as it wrung the cold out of muscles and joints.
Solvang continued Day 2, Santa Barbara Wine Country
Today’s ride was a short one, just over 100 miles, and a destination ride at that with the ride ending at Koehler Winery in Los Olivos. Those of us who rode on the Lompoc overnighter last year were no doubt struck by deja vu with our route today as it covered the very same great roads right up to and just past the Fess Parker Winery (last year’s destination) on the way to Koehler Winery a mile further down Foxen Canyon Road. About half of the group from Day 1 were on the ride this morning, with Tony in the lead.
With yesterday’s storms having passed, the air today was cold and clear with brilliant sunlight. Tony led a quick pace up Hwy 1 alongside Vandenberg AFB to Santa Maria for the only offi cial gas stop of the ride. From Santa Maria, we headed north on 101 for a few miles, east on 166, past Twitchell Reservoir, fi nally to our turnoff at Tepusquet Road, one of our favorites. I wrote euphorically about this road in the Lompoc article eighteen months ago, and nothing has changed since then. In a word, the road must have been engineered with motorcycles in mind as the tight turns and aggressive banking on new pavement are perfectly suited to a pressing run up the hill, then down as it covers fi fteen miles of rolling terrain just north of the Santa Barbara wine country. Tepusquet eventually fi nds Foxen Canyon along which we rode another twenty miles through vineyard and ranch land before coming to Koehler Winery and the offi cial end of the ride.
As is always the case with destination rides, everyone was free to do as they please for the remainder of the day. Some of the group stayed to sample wine (though not as many as the local proprietor would have liked, methinks). Others departed for Los Olivos for lunch before returning to Solvang, the directions to which were included in the day’s route plan.
A group of nine of us made up our mind the night before to ride to Jalama Beach and have cheeseburgers on the sand at the general store there. You may recall me writing and later describing at a chapter meeting Skip Gaston’s famous nonchalant u-turn (“The U-Turn”) the last
time we rode into Jalama Beach. With Skip riding shotgun this time behind a leader equipped with a GPS, there would be no repeat north-when-it-should-have-been-south turn onto 101, and we eventually got to Jalama Beach along that brilliant 14-mile road to the surf without a misstep. There is nothing quite like the fi rst glimpse of the Pacifi c Ocean from Jalama Road when you come over the last rise and suddenly behold a 180 degree panoramic view of turbulent, blown-out, roiled up ocean and surf. It is spectacular. After an hour, the return route took us back over Jalama Road, north on Hwy 1, and then over the very same Santa Rosa Road as Friday into Buellton and Solvang. Just cannot get enough of that road.
Weird incident of the day: somewhere along the route early in the ride, Tony leading the group was strafed by an irate hawk undoubtedly sending a message to the horde blundering into his turf. The fairing on Tony’s new Street Glide came in handy as a barrier behind which to duck to avoid a gnashing beak and grasping talons. I guess next time we best avoid that road -- that, or send a new member well ahead of the group as a decoy!

endured some rain, but not nearly enough to make the going treacherous, or even particularly uncomfortable. It’s pretty hard to get cold under three layers of clothing, an OCHOG vest, and a rain suit.
When Hwy 101 paralleled the ocean, the conditions today stood in stark contrast to those on Friday. Recall that on our ride up, the ocean was agitated with whitecaps, wind, and crashing surf. Today ... nothing. Flat as can be, placid, windless, offshore visibility about as good as Friday judging from the proximity of the channel islands. The sun, empty roads, and visibility made for a great ride, and while it would have been a ton of fun to ride the back roads into Frazier Park in more favorable conditions, in many ways this alternate route was plenty good enough.
After the gas stop we endured a couple miles of bumper-to-bumper traffi c on 101 produced by a Caltrans crew cleaning something up after which we never slowed again. Given the route and where riders began to peel out of the group once we crossed into Orange County, I may have been the last one home, and that was at 11:30 AM. Nice to have the rest of the day to dry out the gear and clean up the bike. 189 miles today which when added to the two prior days’ mileage counts totaled 650 miles for the weekend.
Before concluding, a couple of short tributes are in order. First, I would like to
Day 3, Solvang to Home
Rain, or more properly the threat thereof, forced a change in the Day 3 route to home. Because it was a virtual certainty that there would be rain on the Grapevine, which at this time of the year usually translates to snow and CHP closure (never mind below-freezing temperature), the original route which would have come into Frazier Park from the west was scrapped and replaced with a no frills, let’s-just-get-home route. So, at 8:00 AM on the fi rst day after returning to standard time, off we went south on 101 from Solvang, a brief stop in Calabasas for gas and farewells, then south on the 405, and home.
On this Sunday morning, there was very little traffi c along the coast down to Santa Barbara. The riding could not have been more pleasant [albeit a tad monotonous]: no speed changes, no turns, few lane changes, no one cutting through the group, nice and simple. And reasonably dry. It was clear from the start that we were chasing the rain. It was sunny and cold all the way to the gas stop, but the ground was wet in most places as the rain had just passed, and in the distance the gray, gloomy clouds were perpetually hanging just on our horizon. Somewhere along the 405 we caught up with it all and
Solvang continued echo comments made by Steve Burke at the last chapter meeting praising Carlos for his route-making over the years, and in particular the overnighters this year. This ride to Solvang was the fi nal route Carlos will plan as Steve takes over that formidable responsibility. I’ve been riding overnighters with this chapter for two years. I have never not been amazed at Carlos’ encyclopedic knowledge of back roads all up and down this state and his ability to link them together to make long, fun, challenging four-diamond rides. Steve will have his hands full living up to Carlos’ route-making legacy.
The second goes to Drew who announced to his road captains the fi rst night in Solvang that he would be stepping down as Head Road Captain and chapter offi cer as of the completion of Friday’s ride. I’ve never ridden with another HOG, but I’ve spoken with several who have, and the familiar refrain from those who have is that we in OCHOG don’t know how good we’ve got it when it comes to group riding practice. I doubt anyone would challenge the claim that we ride so well as a group because of the road captains who lead and sweep us. The OCHOG Road Captain Program is Drew’s invention, his personal stamp is on every aspect of the OCHOG road captain practice, and anyone who rides with us has Drew to thank for the rewarding experience.

Saturday, October 22
This ride is one that I had been anticipating for a few reasons. Colby and Tony were breaking in their new rides and I was looking forward to checking out their bikes and seeing what customizing they had done so far. I was also hoping that Jeff R. would be on the ride so that I could take a closer look at his fl ag mount which I had noticed on a previous ride and had searched online for with no success. And fi nally, this was a new destination for Ed and I, and I was eager to try a new place and see some new sights. I was not disappointed.
Our ride began at the Sand Canyon meeting spot and the morning was a little cool and overcast. While everyone was socializing I was able to see Tony’s new Street Glide and Colby’s CVO. Both are beautiful bikes and if you haven’t seen or heard them yet just join us on the next ride and I’m sure you will. I didn’t count but I’m guessing we had about 40 bikes or so. After the usual instruction the group hopped on the 5 and headed north in the carpool lane. The carpool lane makes for quick travel but we had some road debris to dodge along the way. Our fi rst stop was at the Chevron station in the La Canada/Flintridge area where it appeared that most of the group refueled. At this stop I got to catch up with Jeff and really check out his fl ag installation which I learned he had made himself. He really did a great job and it looks nice. After bio breaks, the group got back on the road.
Our next scheduled stop was Rock Inn however we made an impromptu stop at a strip mall to check maps. It seems that

we had either missed a turn or had taken a wrong turn and were off course. I had no idea. Part of the enjoyment of our rides is that I don’t follow a map. I may look at the map online to see what direction we are headed but I don’t print them. I follow the fender ahead of me and enjoy the ride. Colby was ahead of me on this ride and I would’ve followed his fender to Canada. I like not having a map to worry about. After just a few minutes the Road Captains were ready to head out again and we made our way to Rock Inn. When we arrived there were already many bikes parked out front but still plenty of parking for us on either side of the street.
The food, service and atmosphere at Rock Inn were great. They hustled to quickly serve each table and despite being pretty busy I think we all got our meals in a timely manner. A gentleman, I think he was the owner or part owner, was helping serve food and told the group a little about the building. He also mentioned that they have rooms to rent and that all the rooms could be booked for a small gathering if anyone was interested. Robert Austin and I took a quick walk through the upstairs area before leaving. It was like stepping back in time. The bedrooms rooms were furnished with an eclectic mixture of antique furniture and a sink. The only bathroom was in the hallway. Our group was gathering outside as we fi nished our walk through. The route from Rock Inn to the next scheduled stop took us on a ride down San Francisquito Canyon Road with sweeping turns and great views back to Magic Mountain Parkway. At our fi nal bio/fuel break everyone said their good byes and lined
back up to head into Orange County. Another fun, safe ride with the HOG group was ending. I am so thankful for our Road Captains who plan and lead our rides. They do all the planning and mapping so that we don’t have to. Hope to see you all on the next ride. Until then, ride safe.

The Story of Santa 2011by Kimmie Kohlenberger
For the members who joined the Chapter after the CHOC Toy Ride was placed on hiatus until the hospital completes the new tower, the following explains the history of the Chapter’s signature event and the man who started it all
The Story of Santa
While many of us just know him as Santa and have only heard him tell us “I love you,” there is a story that goes well beyond him being a chapter member and his life as Santa. Below are excerpts from his life from an article printed in a magazine back in 1989.
Before he became Santa Claus for desperately sick children in the cancer wards of Southern California hospitals, Mike Colwell, 45 years old at the time, doubted he had the courage for it. Today there seems little question that this was his destiny. Each year, when he could get away from his printing business, he collected 2,500 toys and crammed them into his garage, ready for the frantic Christmas season when he visited some 2,500 children who were on the verge of dying.
When he bought a Santa suit in 1977 to entertain his granddaughter on her fi rst Christmas, he got a glimpse of what lay in store. A neighbor asked him to stop by his house and play Santa for a family reunion. Unknown to anyone, the neighbor’s 3-month-old child had cystic fi brosis and would shortly die. The family wrote an article for the local paper describing their child’s fi rst and last Christmas and Mike’s part in it. Mike was especially moved by their sentiments. “From then on, I knew I
was going to be Santa, but I didn’t know where.”
A year later, he was spotted in his Santa costume by Gary Floyd, a young boy who lived on their street. Floyd had cancer and was undergoing radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other harrowing experiences at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County. He told Mike that Santa Claus visited the oncology ward at the hospital, but each year it was a new Santa. Mike asked why?. “We aren’t pretty to look at, and they don’t come back,” Gary said matter-of-factly.
Mike contacted the hospital and asked to perform at the children’s annual Christmas party. “I almost fainted when I walked in,” he said. “One child was missing a jaw, others were missing limbs, and some had bald heads from chemotherapy. Somehow I managed to smile my way through but went back to the cancer and blood disease wards the next year, and the next, determined to succeed at bringing the spirit of Christmas to dying children. “I just don’t see the outside anymore. I only see the children’s spirit.” The children themselves provided me with the courage to go on. “Children don’t fear death, because they haven’t learned how adults fear death,” he said.
Part of Mike’s strength and sympathy likely comes from his family background. He grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, the son of Bea and Samuel Colwell. His father played trumpet in a dance band, and after serving in World War II, was a dispensing optician in the rugged western farming town. “We had a big family with
lots of aunts and cousins, and we always got together for Christmas,” said Mike. “I loved the white Christmases at home. We would come home from church, and Santa would have already been there and left presents under the tree. My dad used to say that as long as you keep believing, there would always be a Santa.
“After graduating from high school, Mike drifted for a time, not quite sure of what he wanted to do. He bought a motorcycle and became a biker -- beard, long hair, a leather jacket, a logging chain around his neck, and a tattoo. He got a job as a clean-up boy at a printing house, and a second job working as a liquor store clerk. Mike went to own the printing business and run it with a partner, Steve Cotrell.
In 1988 he incorporated as a nonprofi t, charitable organization called Share the Spirit to collect money, toys, and gifts from local businesses, banks, fraternal organizations, and community clubs. One big contributor was the National Association of Women in Construction. Another was the Automobile Club of Southern California. Still another: the Long Beach Boat and Sky Club. The Knights of Pythias, a nonsectarian fraternal organization founded nearly 120 years ago, was a perennial supporter, and the Tustin chapter, of which Mike was a

us and celebrate the holiday season with your Chapter Family! Reservations will be accepted until November 30th and you can fi nd the reservation form on the Chapter Website.
The CHOC Toy Drive begins the Saturday after Thanksgiving and runs through December 24th. You can drop off your new unwrapped toys at the Orange County H-D dealership. On Christmas Eve day, we will take all the donated toys to the CHOC holding facility. The toys are given to the children of CHOC who will spend the holidays in the hospital. Additionally, the toys are use to fi ll the play rooms at the hospital, given as a gift to a child who has a birthday while in the hospital, and presented to a child before or after surgery. I hope you will be able to participate. By doing so, you will place a smile on the face of a child. For a list of needs, please see CHOC’S Wish list by visiting the following link: http://www.choc.org/childlife/index.cfm?id=P00212.
As you can imagine, there are many areas of the Chapter that need constant attention. I am fortunate to work with an outstanding group of hard working and dedicated Offi cers; some who were already in place when I was appointed Director and others who have raised their hand and said “put me in coach.” If you are new to the Chapter, the process we use to select Chapter Offi cers is as follows; The Orange County Harley Davidson Owner, Ray Malzo, appoints the Director. Ray then empowers the Director to appoint all other Primary Offi cers. The Primary Offi cers appoint the Discretionary Offi cers. National HOG only requires the Chapter to have 4 Primary Offi cers that include myself as Director, Lee Slajer as Assistant Director,
It is hard to believe, but the end of the year is coming to a close and the Holiday season
is right around the corner. For our newer members, you should be aware this will be the last HOG LOG and the November 17th Chapter meeting will be the fi nal one for 2011.
Even though we are in the last few weeks of 2011, there are some important events coming up for the balance of the year. One of those is the Toy Pick-Up Ride occurring on Friday December 9th. Twelve years ago, this event was organized by chapter member Judy Coderre and has grown to include fi ve of the Fairmont Private School Campuses. Escorting Santa in his sleigh, the chapter rides to each campus to pick up toys collected by the students. One of the campuses treats the Chapter to a wonderful holiday performance and if that’s not enough to get you to come along, we are also served a wonderful breakfast. In addition to collecting toys from the school campuses, last year we added an additional stop at Pretend City and it will be the fi nal stop on the ride again this year. Many thanks to chapter member Linda Slajer for making that happen.
On Saturday December 10th we have our Annual Holiday Party at the Tustin Banquet Center. This is the time of year we come together to celebrate another great year of riding memories. Thanks to the work of members who have participated throughout the year, the chapter is able to cover a large portion of the cost of the Holiday Party in order for you to enjoy an evening of good food, good entertainment, dancing, and lots of fun at a great price. For only $12.00 per member, you can join
Director’s MessageKimmie Kohlenberger
Ron Browning as Treasurer and Cindy Blaylock as Secretary. In addition, National HOG allows the Primary offi cers to have up to 9 discretionary offi cers. Examples of discretionary offi cers are Head Road Captain, Ladies of Harley, Activities Offi cer, etc. Each of our Offi cers is looking for his or her replacement, so that, over time we have a good bench of candidates for either a discretionary position or a Primary Offi cer.
If you are interested in one of the discretionary positions, please let me know. If you are interested in becoming a Primary Offi cer, we require that you serve at least one year in one or more of the discretionary positions. If you are interested in pursuing either the Assistant Director or the Director position, you should contact me, as there are additional requirements you will need to know about.
Historically, rider safety has always been one of the high priorities of the chapter. We are looking to increase the Road Captain program. If you have interest in being a Road Captain, please see Head Road Captain, Tom Clapper, to learn about expectations, qualifi cations, and training.
I believe we have an excellent Chapter. Our membership continues to grow and is extremely supportive as evidenced by the number of people who attend our meetings and riding events. The Chapter runs smoothly because of volunteers and the support of our members. I would like to extend a big thank you to all chapter members and the dealership for your support in the last half of this year during a time of transition. I would especially like to thank a fabulous group of Offi cers and Road Captains who do the work to make this Chapter great. I wish you all Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Prosperous New Year.
Happy Trails!Kimmie

• Assistant Director Lee Slajer addressed a “suggestion box” question regarding riding in smaller groups.

Our goal is to raise $500 for the USO.

has,” he said. “She told me, ‘Grandpa, you’re Santa. I understand.’”
At the peak of his program, Mike was visiting more than 2,500 sick children. (When a child was not expected to live until Christmas, Mike would make a special visit, in full costume, at any time.) In 1994, Mike, by then better known as Santa, got together with about 25 Orange Coast HOG Chapter friends and delivered toys to CHOC starting what was to become the Orange Coast HOG “CHOC Toy Ride”.
In 1996, Mike then 56 had a Stroke that paralyzed his right side and left him unable to speak. About 200 Harley riders lined up outside his room to give a hug to a man that had given so much. In spite of his challenges, and with the help of his wife Elaine, Mike made it a point to show up every year at OCHOG’s November chapter meeting to remind us all about giving to the kids of CHOC. He also continued to appear in his Santa Suit at the CHOC Toy Ride on December 24th, to pass out ride pins to the participants and to visit the kids at CHOC. The CHOC Toy Ride grew from 25 to 2000 riders. In 2009, 32 years after he fi rst put on a Santa suit, Mike and Elaine found it a challenge to continue to participate. However, I wouldn’t put it pass them that when CHOC’s new tower is completed in 2013 and the CHOC Toy Ride resumes, Santa will be there.
member, was the largest single donor of toys. One member gave Mike $10,000 in toys to share the spirit in 1988. Mike attended some 40 luncheons a year given by various groups to talk about his cause, and he insisted that each person who attended bring a toy as the price of admission.
His speaking engagements, his travels to and from his home to hospitals in a pickup truck (red, of course) made Mike a highly visible public fi gure. He had one weakness: Speed. “When the police pulled me over and saw my long hair and beard, they thought I was a fugitive. But when they saw my license plate IM SANTA, my business card which said Santa, and when I told them what I did, they let me go.” Once, when a local police department found itself with $3,300 worth of stolen toys on hand after sending the burglar to jail, they gave them to Mike to distribute.
Colwell’s effect on children was phenomenal, said Steve Cottrell, his business partner who did his own work and Mike’s during his partner’s absence. “You see the faces on the kids light up when he appeared,” said Steve, who often came along in the role of Santa’s elf.
Mike’s family paid a price for his years as Santa, but they all know that they got something greater in return. Mike said he missed his granddaughter’s fi rst appearance in a school pageant. “I’ve never forgiven myself for that, but she
