First Annual Brit Turner Memorial Ride - RIDER PASS

Please join Richard Turner, SMHD and The Shed for The First Annual Brit Turner Memorial Roll Out Ride for Childhood Cancer!

In honor of our late friend and bandmate, Brit Turner, Blackberry Smoke and Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson are hosting The first annual Brit Turner Memorial Roll Out Ride.  An 80 mile scenic cruise through the beautiful countryside of Eastern Tennessee. The ride will deliver breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains and the surrounding countryside.  This year's ride will take place on SATURDAY, May 17th.  

* You MUST sign up before MAY 1st, 2025 to participate.  We will have a limited number of spaces available. 

The event benefits The Brit Turner Family Fund at CURE Childhood Cancer, supporting families affected by childhood cancer.  This year's event will be different from the routes we have taken in the past.  We will depart Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson and The Shed as usual and journey along some of the most beautiful roads in Eastern TN to a private mountain retreat overlooking some of the best views in the area.  Lunch will be served and  you will have an opportunity to say hello and spend some time with a few of the other band members of Blackberry Smoke who will be on site as well.  We will all gather together for a professional group photo to commemorate the day.  You will then have 2 options, to either travel directly back to The Shed OR you can accompany a second group which will take a longer route that includes the world renowned Tail Of The Dragon, an 11 mile stretch of US 129 famous for it's 318 curves before making your way back to The Shed.   

Your official Brit Turner memorial ride merchandise will be shipped within 48 hours of online ride purchase.
