Wed, 21 May 2025, 5:00 pm EDTWestern Slope Volunteer Dig Days are back—every Wednesday!
Massanutten Western Slope, Keezletown, VA
RSVP HERE

🛠 WHAT: Weekly trail work sessions on the Western Slope

💚 WHY: Because trails don’t build (or maintain) themselves—and when we dig together, we build more than just great singletrack. We build community.

📅 WHEN: Every Wednesday | 5–7:30 PM | Every Weds in April & May

📍 WHERE: Western Slope of Massanutten. Park in the regular lot and follow our red "Trail Work" Signs near the start of the Happy Hour Trail.

🙋 HOW: Sign up, bring a friend, wear work clothes, and we’ll provide the tools and good vibes. No experience is needed. Wear long pants and closed-toed shoes; bring gloves if you have them.

These evenings are fun and productive and a chance to give back to the land that gives us so much.

Come get dirty with us. The trails will thank you.

Wed, 21 May 2025, 6:30 pm EDTRide of Noise
Court Square, Harrisonburg, VA
Register here is advance.

For over 20 years, the Coalition has participated in the Ride of Silence to honor those who have been injured or killed while riding bicycles on our public roads, raise awareness that we are people, and to value our personal safety.

This year, we are going to make it a ride of NOISE and let our voices and presence be known.

Although riders have a legal right to use the road along with motorists, the motoring public often isn’t aware of these rights and is sometimes unaware of the cyclists themselves.

This is a FREE ride, but you are REQUIRED to sign a Waiver: https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/60ae846625885/web/

What to Expect: For the Ride of Noise, cyclists will take to the roads together to honor cyclists killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. The ride is FREE and will ride throughout Downtown Harrisonburg.

Following the ride, we invite you to continue riding with the Wednesday Night Social Ride, which will meet at the Court Sq Gazebo.

Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2024
Time: 6:30 PM - 7:00
Location: Court Square Gazebo

Fri, 23 May 2025, 10:00 am EDTFriday Morning Forest-Roads Ride
Needs location
Just this week, let’s join the SVBC event on Court Square, “Bike Everywhere Day.” Cyclists will gather for breakfast and networking. Check out the SVBC event on Meetup.

(Regular rides return next week)
The Forest-Roads Ride will be all over the Shenandoah Valley, typically within the GWNF.
We like to stay together as a group and we take plenty of breaks to refuel and socialize. But we might not wait for you if you fall too far behind, and we will keep the ride moving along to meet our goals. You should expect some climbing (we’re riding in the George Washington National Forest) on anything from smooth dirt forest roads to double track (think jeep roads). Each rider can and should gauge their ability and turn back early if needed to avoid being left too far behind. Note that there is often no cell service where we ride.
Regarding suitable types of bikes, the group rides a mix of mostly mountain and/or gravel bikes depending on the specific road conditions for that week, and many are e-bikes (with the overall pace set by the non-e-bikes).

Time: Check the weekly ride details in the Meetup Group. Usually 9AM for the summer, and later in Fall, Winter and Spring.

Location: Meet at the trailhead mentioned in the Meetup Group. We usually ride in the George Washington National Forest. *the trail location can range upwards to an hour-long drive from Harrisonburg.

Pace: Less than 10mph

Length: Typically 3-4 hours, 15-20 miles.

Ride Surface: This is a forest service-mountain bike ride, so plan for dirt roads with varying degrees of rock and occasional gravel.

Regroup Points During Ride? There are not clearly identified points but the ride will stop and regroup at points during the ride.
