The Tour de Chesapeake is Back in Business!
Join Us in Mathews! - May 19, 2012
As we say farewell to Bike Virginia organizers, we look forward to continuing a fun, well-organized ride in 2012! After hosting this event for thirteen years, Mathews really wouldn’t be the same without it, so some rather determined folks got together earlier in the year and decided not to let it “fall by the wayside”.
SO…The 14th Annual Tour de Chesapeake is back and better than ever!!! This year, the County of Mathews, the Mathews Land Conservancy, and the Mathews Visitor Center are teaming up to host the event. If you have ridden with us before, you will notice some changes (good, we hope) and some things that have not changed – great FLAT routes with views of the water everywhere you turn, delicious local eats, toe-tapping music, and nice, down-home folks to help you with whatever you need! We roll out the red carpet for you!
Tour de Chesapeake is a family-friendly event located in Mathews County, on Virginia’s Middle Peninsula. The supported ride is all day on Saturday, but we hope you will make a weekend of it and see all Mathews has to offer. We have lined up a whole assortment of things for you to do on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday too!
