Roll out early, dodge the heat, and confuse everyone who thinks Saturday is for sleeping in. Join us for a relaxed group ride packed with scenic views, fun roads, and the kind of good company that makes miles disappear. We’ll blend smooth highways with quiet country roads and reward ourselves with lunch.

🛣️ Ride Overview
This is a “beat the heat and be home (mostly) before the afternoon sun starts to bake us” circle ride. We’ll head west toward Franklin, VA for our first stop of the day, then swing southeast onto Motorcycle Highway and cruise across to Gatesville, NC. After that, we’ll point ourselves northeast and enjoy some twisty, grin inducing roads while making our way to Morgans Corner for stop number two.
From there, we’ll zig and zag across Old Swamp Road, NW Backwoods Rd, Ballahack, Bunch Walnuts, and Benefit (yes, those are real road names), then hop onto I 168 for the final stretch to Woody’s Raw Bar & Grill on Battlefield. Once we roll in, the official group ride ends—stick around for lunch or peel off whenever your stomach or schedule tells you to.
