The Long Reach Long Riders are happy to announce their 2022 charity motorcycle ride. The 19th annual ride, "the Blue Ridge Ramble" begins on June 18 in Charlotte, North Carolina and returns to Charlotte on June 24. The route meanders through North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia before turning north back to Charlotte. Along the way the riders will encounter some of the most scenic and exciting motorcycle roads in the east. The Tail of the Dragon, the Snake, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Cherohala Skyway are just a few of the roads the riders will experience over the 7-day ride.

Greg Williams, ride marshal for the 2022 ride notes, "The days will be filled with rewarding rides along mountain ridgelines and through sweeping valleys, taking in the best scenery the early summer has to offer in the Appalachian Mountains. Evenings will be spent in historic inns located in history-rich towns tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains."

The Long Reach Long Riders annual charity motorcycle ride benefits Behind the Scenes and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. What began in 2004 as a one-time event became an annual ride that has raised over $800,000.00 for the two charities.
