The riding season.
Every summer the club gathers for the 1,000 Mile Rally — five days of backroads and breathtaking country — and through the year for regional rides and weekends away. You don't need a Velocette to come along.
1,000 Mile Rally 2026
Mark your calendars. John Ray — past chairman of the club — has stepped up to organize the 2026 running of the 1,000 Mile Rally. Five days of backroads and breathtaking country, the way it has been done for forty years. You don’t need a Velocette to come along.

The 42nd Melo Velo Fellow Ride
A weekend at Steve’s vineyard — Friday dinner, a Saturday ride and BBQ, a Sunday-morning amble home. A members’ ticketed event, and one of the warmest weekends on the calendar.

25th Annual 49 Mile Ride
A day ride based on the classic 49-mile scenic drive around San Francisco, for pre-1974 machines. No fee. No club. No rules. Just some friends going for a leisurely ride.
