The dates for the 16th Annual Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally are Wednesday, August 28, through Monday, September 2, 2024.

I'll be updating the website soon....

The thread for last year's event (for reference) is located at Graves Mountain Rally Syria Virginia 2023 | SteelSoldiers

Same plan as in years past...with a few updates based upon everyone's feedback...

Website (with last year's dates) is

The attached registration and information pages include details for preview weekends and the Trail Crew cleanup dates.

Since we have ties to the 29th Infantry Division (we drive on some of the same roads and trails that they did)....and it will be the 80th Anniversary of D-Day this June...
We are planning on dedicating this year's event to those that went ashore in forty-four...especially those from the "Blue and Grey Division"

We plan on being there.

I just updated the website for the event...
Or, I managed to change the header to be more universal (took the dates off it so that I don;t have to change it every year...), updated the dates on the main page, and exchanged this year's registration and information flyer (located under the "register" tab on the left to this year's version. Of course, I still haven't figured out how to change the date on the download so it still looks like you are getting the 2018 version until you open it...
One of these days, I am going to just redo the entire website...

I'll be at Graves for the 4th of July celebration...staying through the weekend.
I'll be bringing my Mom with me, so I will be in her car and not my Jeep...
Those who wish to drop by and get a preview of the trails, maybe do some trimming, etc., let me know and we'll coordinate.
