Bike Virginia to ‘Ride the River’ in the NRV

NEW RIVER VALLEY, VA – Bike Virginia, a six-day bike tour that changes locations in Virginia every year, will be located in the New River Valley this year from June 22-27. There are two host locations: one in Radford and the other at Claytor Lake State Park in Dublin.

Over 1,500 bikers participate in the ride that has route options from 20-100 miles each day. Riders have the option of doing a 3-day or 6-day expedition.

Bike Virginia is a way to escape the everyday and spend some time among kindred spirits and beautiful landscapes.

“Nestled within lush rolling hills lies an ancient river that winds its way North. Slipping silently through pastures, between mountains, and alongside villages, the sparkling New River feeds the soil and the soul. IT’S NEW. IT’S ANCIENT. IT’S AMAZING.”

Bike Virginia and the locals work to provide extra excursions and activities for bikers. Some include yoga and massages at the trip headquarters or coordination to float the New River or boat Claytor Lake.
