EVENTS

Our annual main event is the 1000 mile ride. Every summer, members gather in a different location for 5 days of backroads, breathtaking landscapes, oil 'n smoke talk, and the pursuit of good "Velo" times amongst friends... Anyone can join, you don't need a Velocette!

Shortly after, there is also a annual ride in British Columbia, and in the fall, we also host an East Coast Rally.
Throughout the year, our members also attend or organize other "non-club" rides which we will be sharing on this page.

The Mellow Velo Fellow Ride in So-Cal, The Moto Melee, The Nor-Cal TT, The 49 Mile ride in San Francisco, The Rigid Ride in The Bay Area to name a few. All rides are open to all classic/vintage motorcycles and are not exclusive to Velocette.

If you would like to share a ride with us, please send details to info@velocette.org and we will post it here.

We look forward to seeing you on the road...!

VOCNA EAST COAST RALLY 2026 GEORGIA & NORTH CAROLINA, WHERE THE ROADS GO MAD

Discover the legendary Georgia twisties on two wheels, along the legendary Tail of the Dragon and Blue Ridge Mountains.
You don't need a Velocette to join - old bikes preferred - but you'll probably want one soon: they're seductive.
Become part of a community built on a passion for riding, wrenching, and camaraderie.

We'll start at the head of the Chattahoochee River in Alpine Helen. Lean into curves, around
lakes, then reach stunning mountain views on three planned rides through historical paths
and town squares. With Oktoberfest filling the festive Bavarian town, the club secured
limited special rates at the Loreley Resort along the banks of the Head of the Hooch.

Reserve your room: call Loreley today at 706-878-2238 and make sure to ask for the “Rally 2026” rate.

Registration Fee: The Fee for Riders is $180; The Fee for Motorcycle Passengers and Non-Riding Adult Participants (like people driving cars or trucks along on the ride, other than the official Chase Truck Driver) is $50.  
No fee for kids under 18, unless they are riding their own motorcycle, in which case they pay the adult rider fee.
If you are not yet a VOCNA member, you can join at the same time by clicking the non-member status section, and your membership fee will be added to the transaction.
All fees are subject to a 3.5% Credit Card fee.

The 43rd Melo Velo Fellow Ride
Paso Robles, CA
JP Defaut / Steve Eorio

One of VOCNA's oldest traditions: born in the wild sprawl of So-Cal decades ago, and headed back there in 2027. Until then, we ride thanks to the generosity of Steve and Carol Eorio, who've co-hosted this beautiful madness four years in a row. Just don't pitch a tent on their lawn.

Friday night: Dinner at the local brewery. The calm before the storm.

Saturday: A mellow ride through the Central Coast, ending in a BBQ at the Eorio residence.

Sunday: Coffee, then easy half-day(ish) ride into early afternoon, landing back at Steve's.

Book your own hotel. Ticketed event for members only, ut you can join at the sign up when registration opens shortly.

Now get fettling.

Recommended hotels in Paso Robles: Adelaide Inn, Black Oak, La Quinta, Best Western, Budget Inn, Bestway Inn, Town House Motel, Economy Inn, Paso Robles Inn, Melody Ranch Motel, Stables Inn.
