This weekend means more revenue as well as some twists and turns for one group visiting Staunton.

A big group of 400 bikers will ride into Staunton this weekend for the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association's annual ride.

The riders are arriving Friday and Saturday and will be in the area until next Wednesday.

The bikers, who are from all across the country, will ride seven trails throughout the Valley. They say they picked Staunton for their ride because of its convenience.

"Each year we go from one side of the country to the other side. Last year we were in Furville, Texas, and so this year we wanted to go somewhere east of the Mississippi," says Motorcycle Touring coordinator Galen Diehl.

Employees at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel say this is the largest event to come to Staunton this year.
