2026 Covered Bridge Ride is officially in the books! 🚴♂️🌧️🔧
Unfortunately, we didn’t get nearly as many pictures this year as we would’ve liked (we actually stole this one from a customers post) 🤣 Turns out, taking photos gets a little difficult when it’s raining… and when it wasn’t raining, we were too busy getting down and dirty keeping bikes—and riders—moving. 😂
And this year definitely kept us busy! We weren’t just pumping up a few tires and making little derailleur adjustments. We had some legitimate roadside surgery happening. 🔧😂 When you’re providing mechanic support for an event like this, you really never know what’s going to roll up next. Sometimes it’s a quick adjustment, sometimes it’s a flat tire…and sometimes you look at the bike and think, “Alright…how exactly are we getting THIS thing back on the road?” 😅
But honestly, that’s part of what makes these events so much fun for us. There’s something pretty awesome about being able to take a rider who thinks their day might be over, get their bike sorted out, and send them back down the road to finish their ride. 💪🚴♂️
Between the rain, wet bikes, muddy hands, tools scattered everywhere, and some surprisingly large repairs, it was definitely an eventful day—but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
A huge thank you to everyone involved with the 2026 Covered Bridge Ride, all of the volunteers who helped make the event happen, and especially all of the riders who came out and refused to let a little rain ruin a perfectly good day on two wheels. 🌧️🚴♀️
And to everyone who stopped by for mechanical help today—hopefully we got you rolling again quickly enough that you barely remember us. 😂
Another event down, a whole lot of dirty tools to clean, and some great memories made.
Until next year, Covered Bridge Ride! 🤘🚲

Keeping you rolling… even when Mother Nature has other plans. 🌧️🔧
Ahhh 😂 gotcha — the original never came back, and this customer made the new mural to replace it. That changes the meaning quite a bit. Here’s the corrected version:
On another note…
A huge heartfelt thank you to a longtime customer and friend for this amazing mural painting! It was made to replace one that, unfortunately, never made its way back to us from a certain place we won’t mention. 😂
The time, thought, and effort that went into this truly means more to me than you know. I’m incredibly lucky to have customers who have become friends and continue to support Going Rogue through every chapter. ❤️
This one will definitely have a special place with us for a long time!
