In 1921, a group of American citizens formed a group, known as the Victory Highway Association, to create a transcontinental highway to commemorate American Forces members who were in killed in action during World War 1. The highway, which existed between 1921 and 1938, went through numerous configurations and iterations using existing and specially constructed roads, bridges and ferries. This highway would be known as the Victory Highway and it crossed the country between New York City and San Francisco, California.
In the spirit and celebration of all veterans, and those who gave us their ultimate sacrifice, the Victory Motorcycle Club is pleased to announce the 23nd Annual Victory Highway Relay “V2V” for 2023. This year’s thirteen-leg journey will begin near the West Coast shores of San Francisco, California and finish at the East Coast beach near Ocean City, NJ. A jar of western sand will be merged with the east coast beach sand, a V2V tradition.
The V2V is open to all riders, regardless of the make and model of your motorcycle. Come out and enjoy any of the individual 13 riding legs. Each leg will be led by a leg captain who will lead riders through unique routes between point cities where the V2V relay baton will be passed. Riders are encouraged to ride any leg or ride the entire V2V. If you plan to ride this year, expect a good ride, meet new friends, reacquaint with old friends, wear some event swag, and of course, sit down for refreshments and food! If you can’t ride this year’s event, follow your fellow riding brothers and sisters journey, who will be tracked with GPS tracker. The Spot link will be posted prior to the event.
Navigate to THEVMC.com, and see the postings in the events forum under the Victory Highway Relay V2V threads. Posts will be completed as the information is finalized. Each leg will have a thread, introducing the leg captain, hotel information, (for reservations and starting point) and most will have some key points of the expected route. The V2V hopes to see you on the journey and wishing your ride to be your BEST EVER!
Please note the V2V is broken down into multiple legs. You can participate in one leg as it passes by your area or take a longer trip and have fun with other members on multiple legs.
