West Virginia Events

West Virginia MGNOC hosts an event each month beginning in May and ending with the Mountain Guzzi Rally at Pipestem Resort State Park in October. We move the meeting to a different venue each month in order to facilitate attendance for members around our state and from neighboring states. These get-togethers are for breakfast and usually convene at one of our beautiful state resort parks. In effect each of these monthly convocations can be overnighter or an entire weekend event, depending upon the rider.s volition. Following breakfast there is usually a ride in small groups through the area. Often there is a cookout and camping at the park or the home of one of our members that night. We invite all to come, participate, and enjoy the scenic wonders that the Mountain State has to offer Moto Guzzi riders. Go to the MGNOC Newsletter or our website at http://www.mountainguzzi.com for more details.
