Biking Teams at the Bike Virginia Event

You’ll notice a team registration option for the Bike Virginia Tour but teams at the event are not of the typical cycling team kind.

Bike Virginia is a leisure ride, not a race. That’s the big difference. Yes, plenty of racers ride the tour, but at this one we go off the premise of fun, not speed. It’s all about the joy of riding and seeing new places.

Team registrations do provide a discount for each member so this can be the reason for people coming together to form teams.

Teams at the event are often groups of friends, or family, and even coworkers who want to celebrate bicycling together.

Some teams will wear clothing that represents their hometown, their company, their clan name, or event their favorite beer. It’s really up to you how creative you want to be with your team. If you want to make a shirt or jersey, you might find these tips from a custom shirt company Lead Apparel helpful.

How Many People Make A Biking Team at Bike Virginia?

Our largest teams have had over 20 riders and the minimum is 8. You’ll need to identify a captain, that person will be our primary team contact for the tour. Each of you will manage your own registration and packet pick up at the event.
