Spring to Virginia

April 9-17 2011

Here is your excuse to keep in shape over the winter months. This trip offers a range of cycling options for the recreational cyclist to the most hard core. You will be able to select rides each day of 20 km on rolling terrain to 150 km in the mountains, a little something for everyone.

We have selected two hotels in the centre of small historic towns of Lexington VA and Gettysburg PA, four (4) nights at each hotel. Each day you will be provided with maps, cue sheets and company to explore the beautiful scenery around these two very interesting towns. After the first 4 days, we'll drive to the second town for four more days of glorious riding.

This is a great way to kick start your cycling season cycling on quiet paved roads where motorist are friendly to cyclists and there is nothing to worry about except whether or not you will run out of memory space in your camera. The terrain ranges from small towns, farms, horse ranches on palatial estates, to forest and are considered by many to be some of the best cycling available in North America.

Itinerary:

April 9th - 17th (eight nights) in two towns. For those who would like to start a day earlier, we have also limited booking the night of the 8th. We need to know ASAP how many want to take advantage of the extra day.

As with previous years, we are offering an optional extra day at the start of the tour and have
booked 5 rooms (10 people) for April 8.
