Join us for the Tour de Valley bike race next month. We have two Virginia cabin rentals available for that weekend – Rockwood Cabin and Barnwood Cabin. The Tour de Valley bike race event hosted in Waynesboro is set for September 12th. The event began in 1988 and today features a Century and Metric Century that takes you through some of the most stunning areas of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley region. The challenging route goes through Augusta and Rockbridge counties and begins at Ridgeview Park in Waynesboro and leads cyclists through Gosh Pass and back. This 28 year tradition brings people from all over the country to compete. Registration and tickets can be purchased for $60 online on their website page www.runthevalley.com/tour–de–valley
For a ticket price you’ll receive, a scenic tour of the Shenandoah Valley, tech t-shirt, stocked aid stations, SAG vehicle support on the course, and a great after party at the War Memorial Pool in Ridgeview Park. Each participant will be able to enjoy, pizza, subs, and beer from our very own locally owned and operated sponsor Seven Arrows Brewing Company! The Tour de Valley finishes at Ridgeview Park, War Memorial Pool where you can enjoy a hot shower and a cool swim. Event coordinators are excited that a portion of the proceeds from this year’s race will be donated to the Woodard Memorial Scholarship Fund at Fishburne Military School in Waynesboro. This is a need based scholarship that is awarded at graduation each year.
