What is Bike Virginia and Why Partner with BGDB?
Bike Virginia is a statewide advocacy organization that works to make cycling safer, more fun, and more accessible. Our goals are to get more people riding and make biking better for people that live in and visit the region.
Our annual event hosts up to 1,600 riders for 6 days of fun on a fully supported bicycle vacation adventure. Riders range in age from 8 to 88. in 2014 we had 10 riders over the age of 80 taking part.
Through the event we help communities understand and value cycling and spread the share the road message. Through the event we create opportunities to cycle in beautiful places in a supportive tour environment.
Bike Virginia is excited to work with BGDB because we love supporting women cycling. Riding is great for us for so many reasons and biking is great for communities for health, economy, environment, and transportation. 
Our organization missions are a great match.
We Are A Woman Led Organization
Our organization is unique in that our Executive Director, Dr. Kim Perry of 8 years and Board Chair, Peggy White of 2 years are both women in a field that is largely male. We work hard each year to bring women to the event so they can experience cycling in the supportive environment of the tour.
Bike Tour Vacations: A Wonderful Way to Ride
Our routes have easy to follow signage, support trucks, on route mechanics, regular rest stops and much more. It’s a great place to test your self, to meet other people that love riding, and get inspired.
Routes vary in length and are all loops. Choose from routes of 20-108 miles. Over the 6 days you can ride as many or as few days as you like. If you ride all the longest routes you can enjoy 400+ miles of exploration.
Bike at your own pace on carefully planned, fully supported event routes. The 2015 Tour visits one of the mid-Atlantic’s most sought after cycling destinations, near Abingdon Virginia and Kingsport Tennessee. This region features scenic roads in the rolling hills and valleys of the Highlands of the Blue Ridge.
The 2015 route is a Sell-Out-Favorite destination for Bike Virginia. 
This is our 28th year offering great bike vacations.
With riders from all over the country and international locations you’ll meet great people that love to ride, just like you do.
For this special Black Girls Do Bike program we will host a reception with gifts just for you and we will have a meet up spot where you can find other riders before and after riding each day.
