The next 6 day Bike Virginia Tour will be held June 26–July 1, 2015. For our 28th annual event we will return to the Highlands of Virginia and neighboring Tennessee, visiting the region between Abingdon, Bristol and Kingsport—for the first time since 2008!

We focus on great riding, relaxing, entertainment, exploration, fun and just the right services to keep you happy and comfortable. Come for a day, the weekend, or come for the whole 6-day adventure!
