Bike Virginia
I just got flyer for 2007 Bike Virginia in mail. It looks interesting, in that it's not different stopovers each night. One ride from Hopewell to Williamsburg, then 3 days in Williamsburg with rides each day but they are out-and-back with Williamsburg as base. Then last day ride back to Hopewell. I like that format - don't have to pack up each day. It fits my style better.
Anyone else thinking about it?

Something to consider. Checked the website, looks good, but not overly informative. We are re-locating to the Richmond area this week. Any advice on other biking events in my new home state?

The Tour de Chesapeake is a really fun weekend. Great roads and scenery is awesome. It's only a 1 day ride, but you can do your own thing Sunday. It's in May.

Thanks for the replies. I look forward to getting in the saddle, again. BTW, anyone seen a North American Moving Van???
