The Bike Va Tour Makes a Great Training Goal for Cyclists BIKE VIRGINIA

Cyclists from across the US head to Virginia each year to take part in the Bike Virginia Tour. For some it is the culmination of months of training, for others the tour is a training tool. Whether a great training goal, a prize and reward for hard work in the springtime or a concentrated block of cycling that helps you become a stronger rider, there’s nothing else quite like the tour experience. Be surrounded by people understand the joy or riding and cheer when you reach the top of that mountain.

The Tour is also a great place to test yourself in a supported environment. Try your first century (100 mile ride) or go for the big goal of riding all of our miles, nearly 410 miles in 2014. This year’s tour will feature a double century option, two of the 6 days will offer a 100 mile option.

Bike Virginia can be a training tool. Where else can you ride, ride, ride, for 6 days straight on hand selected and supported routes. You can ride, rest, relax and refuel day after day. And see one of top 14 travel destinations in the world in 2014!

Cyclists leave Bike Virginia happy, tired, confident, and stronger for the remainder of their cycling season.
