12/25/2014
Cyclists can find paradise in the many Virginia bicycle tours offered throughout the year. The state offers something for everyone with geography from ocean to mountains.

The state is rich with beauty, hospitality, history, and culture, and that combined with a strong cycling culture meanscyclists are guaranteed a great experience.

If you enjoy riding a bike in beautiful scenery and historic communities then you will love seeing Virginia’s charming countryside. Many riders enjoy self guided trips but signing of for an organized event is an easy way to see the best of the best. When registering for one of the many great Virginia bicycle toursyou know that the routes have been hand selected for their scenery, charm, safety, and interesting sites.

When you visit Virginia to ride you can surround yourself with farmland. Spin along the marshy bay. Or, stop for a break at one of the beautiful overlooks that gaze over the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. Virginia offers a wide variety of cycling opportunities, making it a great destination for bicycle touring in all seasons- spring, summer, winter, and fall.

Virginia reaches from mountains to the coast and a because of its strong cycling culture riders can take part in every kind of event imaginable. Urban rides, rural road rides, and off-road mountain biking are some of the options you can enjoy. There are some rides geared towarad families as well. Events range from small groups to large events, some with thousands of participants. With bike tours and organized rides for every ability and every distance the selection of Virginia bicycle tours that take place each year just can’t be beat.

If you prefer flat roads then look into touring in the eastern part of Virginia or the tours that stay in the valleys of the Blue Ridge. Consider riding in places like Mathews Virginia or in the valleys outside of Staunton. The Capital Trail offers a separated bike pat connecting Richmond and Williamsburg. The trail hosts a tour event each spring.

For those of you that adore climbing you will love rides that visit Blue Ridge Mountains in Central and Southwest Virginia. Look for tours in places like Lynchburg, Roanoke, Radford, and Blacksburg where the tour routes will challenge your heart and legs no matter where you come from. Many tours offer a selection of ride lengths in one event allowing you to enjoy events whether you travel along, with a group of friends or with family. Some events give team discounts if you bring a group of riders. Making a team is a fun way to get friends and coworkers involved in cycling. No matter your preferred ride, one of the Virginia bicycle tours is to make you smile.

Some events offer a multi-day riding experience like the Fall Foliage Ride and Bike Virginia. Overnight events offer a chance to get away for the weekend so you can spend some quality time on the bike and with people you love. These two events offer camping and other unique amenities.

If you can’t decide what tour do first, consider an event like the annual Bike Virginia Tour which moves around to new parts of the state each year. Participants attend that event year after year to enjoy new bike touring routes in different locations.

Other riders prefer to return year after year to one region for a favorite event.The Fall Foliage ride in Staunton is a popular event that gets return riders coming out to see the foliage along beautiful quiet tree lined roads. Look for that event each October.

Many events benefit great organizations as fundraisers. Regional MS150 rides take place across the state each year to raise money for the serious auto-immune disease. The DR 100 benefits bicycle safety in the Harrisonburg region. Bike Virginia funds support education and advocacy. The Storming of Thunder Ridge, a vigorous mountain event supports the Lynchburg YMCA. When you pick one of these special events your registration dollars help fund good programs across Virginia.
