11th Annual Graves Mountain Military Vehicle and Vintage 4x4 Trail Rides and Rally!
Labor Day Weekend
August 29-September 2, 2019
https://gravesmountaintrailrides.com/
A fun filled weekend of trailriding, parts-swapping, and fellowship in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia open to all Military Vehicles and to Civilian Vehicles 25 years old and older (newer vehicles allowed by approval of the organizers)
We will be having the trailrides/rally at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, Virginia again this year over the Labor Day Weekend on August 29 – September 2, 2019 (event officially starts on the Thursday before Labor Day).
We will be having multiple guided trailrides each day on the property that are geared both for the novice and experienced trail riders. We will also have group road rides (convoys) on the local forest and State routes Rides. In addition to the rides, there will have plenty of time to enjoy the amenities of Graves Mountain Lodge and the surrounding area both on your own and in groups.
Saturday afternoon we will be having “truck games” in the big field followed by Eastern North Carolina Style BBQ and other delicacies at the Pavilion. Sunday evening we will have our traditional bonfire in the big camping field.
There is no extra charge for vending or haul trucks and trailers and you can use as much space in the big field as you need for camping/display. Rooms and cabins are also available through Graves Mountain Lodge for those who don’t wish to camp.
Chuck will have t-shirts for sale at the event.
For those that are able, we are providing an opportunity this year for folks to become members of our “Trail Crew”. If you are able to come to either one (or both) of our trail maintenance weekends, you’ll get a special event t-shirt and half priced admission to the event. These weekends will be July 4-7 and August 16-18, 2019. The good folks at Graves Mountain Lodge (the location of the Labor Day weekend trailrides/rally) put on a really good 4th of July celebration (band, food, fireworks, facepainting, and other activities for the kids/family)….
Contact me in advance of either work weekend to verify meeting locations and times and to be put on the Trail Crew list.
Send your event registrations in early to ensure that you get the early bird registration rate and to assist us in event planning.
