Hi all, there are a couple of good rides coming up in Virginia (I'm doing all three). I'm posting this in Mid-Atlantic and Southeast to cover all the bases.
May 9th: Cap-to-Cap ride between Richmond and Williamsburg. Two century options, and shorter options. www.virginiacapitaltrail.org
May 15-17: Tour de Chesapeake, Mathews. Lots of distance options. www.bikechesapeake.org
June 19-24: Bike Virginia, Charlottesville area. Journey Through Hallowed Ground for all you history buffs. Plus beautiful rolling terrain. www.bikevirginia.org/2009/index.htm

Bike Virginia
I rode Bike Virginia last year when it was in my home area! I have already signed up for this year's ride and my husband is going, too, and we will celebrate our 35th anniversary during the ride! wahoo!!! Since we rarely get to leave home together due to parent issues, his sister is coming to stay for a week while we go! We are really excited as it has been a long time since we did Cycle North Carolina together in 2006.
Bike Virginia is great fun, only a five day ride, and has lunch provided every day! The rest stops are really well stocked and the routes are fun, with lots of options. I have convinced several local friends that they ought to go, too, so I am especially looking forward to it this year!
Thanks for letting others know of this fun ride, tulip.

Thoughts about great rides in Virginia (or Maryland) in the fall?? I'm doing the MS150 here in Charlottesville in mid-June...then I'll need something to aim for in late September or October to keep me on my bike during the heat of July and August.

The Civil War Century ??
105 miles, with 7400 feet of climbing. DH and I are registered for this suffer-fest.
On a related note, any thoughts on a good, fairly flat century in the DE/MD/NJ area in the July/August timeframe? Something to use as an intermediate goal for CWC.
