Roanoke VA?????

[bike4ever]

I grew up in Roanoke. We visited back there a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't in town long enought to try and bike - our schedule was way too busy.

I was in town over Easter weekend. There is a club called Blue Ridge Cyclists that you could meet up with on some rides. I know someone who rides with that group and she loves it. Google them but she said there is a VA and NC club so make sure you get the right one.

I met Marc and Steve with the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club in Roanoke last year at the MS 150 ride. They were cool to ride with - check them out. They also have a team for the 150 this year too.

amandaesq04 - have you done the Bike VA ride that is in Staunton each October? I have done it a couple of times when I lived closer to VA. I always loved riding around Staunton & Harrisonburg. I did th Bike VA ride the year it was in Winchester - again very beautiful. The down side to that ride was the food poisoning from one of the rest stops. Hundreds of riders went home early.

No, I haven't done that ride yet. last summer was my first season riding. I got my first century in - the Shenandoah Valley Bike Club Century in Harrisonburg, va. I am hoping to do that one again and try Mountain Momma - all depending on where my job hunt takes me.

BikerJen -

I'll be in Roanoke the end of June. I have one full day free that I can ride - where should I ride mountain?
