The Blue Ridge 250 is a charity fundraising event to support FOCUS (Families of Children Under Stress) and provide an enjoyable motorcycle adventure for its participants.

It is actually two events in one. The paved Road Ride sport touring route is 200 miles of north GA twisty roads. A bonus 250-mile route traversing up into NC will be given that can be ridden on another day. The 140-mile Adventure Ride is routed over unpaved Forest Service roads for adventure and dual sport riders. The route is about one third paved and two thirds unpaved.

The event takes place at the world famous Two Wheels of Suches Motorcycle Campground and Resort. At the morning rider’s meeting, we will hear about the wonderful things being done for special-needs children through FOCUS. Door prizes will be awarded and top fundraisers will be recognized.

Gathering during the included lunch will give us a chance to mingle with fellow riders.

Seldom will you have a chance to participate in a better organized event and ride some of the most spectacular roads in the area. Chances are many of them will be new and exciting places your motorcycle has never seen.

Each registered rider will receive an information packet with route directions at check-in. Registered riders will receive a paper route sheet at check-in. The Road Ride route sheet is 5″ x 8.5″, suitable for the map pocket of a tank bag. The Adventure Ride route sheet is available in both the 5″ x 8.5″ format or a 2″ wide roll chart. Roll chart holders will be for sale and zip lock bags and tape will be available for the tank bag format sheets if the rider doesn’t have a tank bag. We think reading and following the route sheet adds to the fun of the riding experience. GPX files for GPS will also be provided.

This will be a self-guided tour, but riders are encouraged to ride with a small group of other participants. No one will ride alone. Solo riders will be paired with a riding partner. This is not a timed event. The route may be completed on schedule without exceeding the posted speed limits.
