Tour de Chesapeake -
Bikes, Bands, & The Bay
Weekend of May 14, Mathews County, Virginia.
http://bikechesapeake.org/
Very pretty, rural, flat land surrounded by water (the bay and two rivers).
I remember Mathews County from ten+ years ago as a place with few named roads (mostly numbers), no 4 lane roads, no traffic lights, no parking meters (although they have added a few near the courthouse) and did I mention flat.
I’m planning to try this ride instead of my usual Bike New York.
Routes from 18 to 100 miles.
The century is new this year. This should be as flat or flatter than the Seagull Century, since the highest elevation in the county is less than 30 feet above sea level.
