Upcoming Events!!!!
Walterboro was a great time. We renewed a few acquaintances and made a few new ones. We lined up together but that did not last long. I rode the 62 mile route and most did the 33. All was well until I got lost not once but twice. The first time I get easily back on course but the second I just wondered around in the flatlands of SC. Finally got back on track but did turn the ride into a 64 mile ride. Here we are at the starting line ready to roll. |

During our Board of Directors meeting in January 2021 we have proposed modest funding a few other rides for 2021. This is intended to pay entry fees and or possibly a meal provided for the events selected. Below you will find a list of proposed events and their status.

Smokey Mtn Recumbent Rally (SMRR) May 14 -16th.
Annual event that we have been a part of since it's
inception. Great rides in and around Townsend
Tn and a highlight of the event is a Saturday
morning ride in Cades Cove and for the most
adventurous a 6 mile downhill ride out of the
Cove back to camp. This always fills up quickly
so do not wait to contact us.
Silver Comet Trail Ride Rockmart GA. June 25, 26 and 27th
Camping trip to the Silver Comet. The
campgrounds at Rockmart are currently fully
booked and The Tour De Low Country is back on
so wear back to our original date in June. This
will immediately follow the Valor Games so it will
make for a crouded few weeks but this trail is one
of my favorite so lets add it to our schedule and
ride. HTW will be able to sponsor a food night or possibly 2 but not lodging so plan accordingly. If
you are interested in riding contact HTW at
honorthewarriors8@gmail.com or
call 704-724-4362
Tour De Turns Charlotte, NC August 28.
Great fun for a cause in Charlotte, NC
HTW 12th Annual Event Charlotte/Mint Hill, NC October 22, 23 and 24th
This is our premier event of the year. We will have
the cycling community in Charlotte join us for two
days of riding in and around the home of HTW.
Please follow our facebook page for information
and let us know as soonas you can if you are an
interested veteran. Registration will open in late
May or Early June for this event.
OTHER POSSIBILITIES:
Guard to the Beach. Raleigh to Wilmington Nothing firm yet but usually a
multi-day event at the
beginning of October
Face of America Gettysburg, PA This is a fund-raiser event that
brings riders from Washington
DC to Gettysburg, PA. Check
out the web site for more
information but spots are
filling up rapidly.
Neuse River Trail Ride. Raleigh/Durham, NC Glenn M, will be looking into
setting up a ride here for
sometime in the summer of
2021. This trail links up to
others in the area so this
could turn into a really nice
ride.
Ft Fisher / Southport. Southport, NC Rick J is looking into a ride in
the Ft Fisher area. The NC
aquarium is there along with a
short ferry ride into Historic
Southport for a ride around.
Thermal Belt Trail Rutherfordton, NC This is a great trail that has
only been opened for a short
time. 14 miles of pristine
pavement and picturesque little
mill towns make this a very fun
ride. We will ride this trail
several times this year.
***If you have any other rides or are interested in any of these rides feel free to contact Jerry at: honorthewarriors1@gmail.com I will consider the ride and look at the budget and get back to you. It is also important to understand that you may be asked to be responsible for local set-up and coordination if you find an event in the SE.
