Ride The River
The New River Valley, Virginia
Nestled within lush rolling hills lies an ancient river that winds its way North. Slipping silently through pastures, between mountains, and alongside villages, the sparkling New River feeds the soil and the soul.
It’s New. It’s ancient. It’s amazing.
Getting to the event is simple and offers all the amenities cyclists like for travel such as local breweries, wineries, farm to table dining. The 2018 event locations in Radford and Dublin are conveniently located along the Interstate 81 corridor in Southwest Virginia.
The region is home to many historic sites, Virginia Tech and Radford University, farms, and cultural activities to round out your visit.

NEARBY AIRPORTS
Returning for 2018, our Double Vision format gives you more riding options, access to your car (and stuff) the entire time, and no one-way routes! Be sure to read about all the exciting changes that come with the Double Vision format.
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.
There are a lot of great events. We hope you will find the same level of enjoyment at ours. Many riders do both.
Is this event a fundraiser?
The proceeds from our event (which are very meager) are used to do advocacy work and education as directed by our 11-person board. We serve as consultants to localities, work on legislative issues, conduct share the road education, and operate an informational website about cycling in Virginia.
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.
