In 2015 we are offering for the first time:
- Loop Rides Every Day
- Access to Your Car Every Day
- Two Camps for 3 days each
- Finishing at Headquarters Camp 2
In 2015 we are launching a new format for the tour that keeps our essence going strong but gives you an even better experience. Bike Virginia has always been about a balance of new and old. For 28 years we’ve created new experiences from scratch that focus on our core which is great riding.
Alongside that great riding we’ve paired it with all the amenities it takes to make a bike vacation like sleeping arrangements, showers, transportation, food, and tons of details to insure safety and comfort.
Every year we look at our processes to make sure they are relevant. We keep an eye on the services that riders like, need, and, demand.
In 2015 we are launching a brand new format called Double Vision. Come with us and give it a try.
Loops Bike Routes Every Day
Our new format means you do not have to ride a “one way” ride on Monday and Wednesday. In the past when you left your car behind and made your way to the second camp there was only one way there. Sometimes the mileages were long for our riders. Now you can enjoy a choice of bike route loops on each of the 6 days. Go long or short. Ride what feels good. 
Access to Your Car Every Day
Getting away from your car is nice, we get that. But, when you move your own car to camp 2 it gives you choices. Now you can run grab supplies, or head out to explore something in the area. You can also leave your car parked too, from Monday til Wednesday. Then on your last day, your car is right there. Ready to go when you are.
This new format let’s you keep your belongings with you too. No big trucks with gear piled upon gear. Bring a chair. Bring rain gear. Bring an extra bike. You’ll have more options and more control over your schedule.
Two Camps for Three Days Each
In the past we hopped to our second destination for a quick visit. We rode there on Monday, did loops on Tuesday, and rode back on Wednesday. Now we have 3 full days of riding in host region 2. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday offer a bunch of bike route choices, all starting and ending at camp headquarters 2. We’re feeling much more balanced and a lot less rushed now!
Finishing at Headquarters Camp 2
The very best part of this Double Vision format is that we can all enjoy the day on Wednesday much more. On that day you can rise and ride, just like the other days at the tour. Then afterwards you can shower, enjoy lunch, and pack up your things at your own pace.
No luggage trucks. No waiting for gear. No rushing back to headquarters 1. Now you can focus on enjoying the day’s riding and relax before you strike out on the next leg of your trip, be it more vacation or be it returning home. 
Change Feels Weird
We know that change feels weird and some people say “why mess with something that works”. Here at Bike Virginia we take the experience you have very seriously. We knew it could get better. That’s why we are making this move to do something innovative. Something fresh. We took your comments to heart. We’ve considered all the details and now all that’s left to do it make it happen at the event. Together let’s give it a try!
