Spring to Virginia - April 12th - 20th

Posted January 16th, 2008 by admin

Now for something completely different! "Spring to Virginia" sans quaint country Inns. That's right! This year's tour is maximizing the 'cycling' and 'food' experience with a small compromise on the accommodation. In fact, the hotels we selected with this years tour are well situated in some very interesting towns with plenty of great places to eat along with plenty of side attractions - just in case you need some down time from 'the cycle'! See the Spring to Virginia page for details.
