RockStar VA Grand Depart is an annual challenge idea “Bike from Rocktown (Harrisonburg) to the Star City (Roanoke) along the RockStar TRAIL, GRAVEL or PAVE routes!”
The Grand Depart inspires folks to enjoy the incredible RockStar routes, maybe test themselves, and it stimulates massive annual trail clearing efforts that all trail users benefit from. Also, by enjoying and caring for these wild backcountry routes and trails we’re helping to protect and preserve these places and experiences.
