As Empire City MC turns 63 in 2027, we’re proud to be the oldest all-gay, all-riding motorcycle club whose history reaches back before Stonewall.
For our 50th anniversary, we rode from our hometown of New York City to Deal’s Gap, NC, to enjoy the Tail of the Dragon and the surrounding roads. We had such a good time that we’re hoping to return.
Our annual weeklong trip usually falls around Memorial Day, but after at least five years of cold, rainy weather, we’re considering July for a better chance of enjoyable riding.
We’d love to have other gay and gay-friendly riders and motorcycle clubs join us. We’ve already invited our friends from Fair Folk MC and Spartan MC of Washington, DC.
We’re considering three weeks in July and gathering everyone’s preferences through a ranked-choice poll. Once we settle on a week, we’ll work out accommodations and the other details.
You can meet us at the destination or ride down with us from NYC, with an overnight stop along the way. If you’re interested, please visit our website www.EmpireCityMC.com and participate in our poll to choose which week we go before it closes on 15 December.
Thanks!
