Whether you’re riding solo, bringing the whole crew, or cruising in your classic car — you’re invited to roll with purpose.


🏎️ What Happens After the Ride?

The ride concludes at one of Southwest Virginia’s favorite summer events — the Bassett Cruise-In, taking place from 3–7 PM at 3525 Fairystone Park Hwy, Bassett, VA.

Enjoy an evening filled with vintage rides, food vendors, live music, and a whole lot of community spirit. It’s a perfect way to celebrate our hometown heroes and connect with fellow enthusiasts.


💥 Ride for Honor. Cruise for Fun.
