Pedal through mountain vistas for Pickens' community impact.

The 13th annual Ride to the Rock returns to Pickens, South Carolina on Saturday, October 25, 2025. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Pickens, this celebrated charity cycling event rolls through the scenic Blue Ridge foothills. The ride typically offers a choice of challenging, well-supported routes, with proceeds benefiting valuable local causes. While final 2025 route details are forthcoming, riders can expect a signature blend of community spirit, beautiful landscapes, and a rewarding finish—including local food and hospitality.

Multiple supported route options (based on previous years, likely 33, 43, 51, or 61 miles). Courses traverse paved rural backroads and feature sustained climbing, scenic mountain descents, and panoramic views, particularly of Table Rock Mountain.
