Thank you for considering Bike Virginia. We promise to deliver you a unique and pleasurable riding experience in the Bike Virginia way. We realize that we are not exactly like the Bon Ton Roulet, Bike Florida, Ride the Rockies, or Cycle North Carolina. Because of those differences and the geographic location our price is different.
FAQ Is this a fundraiser?
FAQ Why do some events cost less?
We plan a completely new event each and every year! Accomplishing that takes 14 months with only 4 full-time staff. It is often difficult to compare other events with ours directly. Annual expenses for operating our event average $450,000–600,000. We look at price very carefully and charge only what we need to stay in operation and provide services for making bicycling better.
If you have questions, please contact us.
This year’s Woodstock/Harrisonburg locations and routes were fantastic, I think just right in terms of length and difficulty selection. I’d be happy to return to this area every year.

Just wanted to drop a note and say Thank You all for an excellent BV! The staff and organization of all aspects is top rate.
Also, the key feature of being able to have a home base and choose different routes that return to the starting point each day gives the riders the ultimate in flexibility each day.
The routes, roads chosen, the organization were excellent! Mathew, North Carolina
Thank you for your understanding and professionalism in handling my request. You exceeded my expectations.
Also, your organization, Bike Virginia, has put together an excellent product that can rival any on the East coast.
The attention to detail, safety factors, and dedicated staff are impressive and appreciated.
The route markings were the best of any ride I’ve ever been on. Thank you for that, and for a beautiful, well-organized ride.
