Join us April 25, 2009 for a day of biking along the scenic Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Pedal along the bay front, marinas, farmland and a local winery while you enjoy the company of friends who share your passion for biking. At the end of the day you'll feel even better knowing that every dollar of your registration fee will go to feed a hungry family.   

This is a fully supported event with routes ranging from 15 miles to a full metric century. Check out our new beginner ride whi*****ludes safety orientation, road rules and a ride leader to make sure even our newest riders have a great day.

 

I want to bike fo exercise. I bought a new bike last year but have a hard time naviagating hills still. My driveway is 1/2 mile long and paved asphalt. Do you think it would be safe to try an event like this without being able to do teh 15 miles? I assume Chesapeake is fairly FLAT land. I don't think I would have problems on flat surfaces.

I'm thrilled you are interested in cycling for fitness.  It has changed my life!  Even before my band surgery I started working out- I started at riding 1/2 mile (barely) and over rthe course of tow years I now teach Spin classes at my gym and can ride 50 miles a day.

this ride has some hills- The good thing is gravity works for us both  ways!  We can't be beat on the down hills:)   There is no shame in walking up a hill when you first get started.  We call it cross training.

 How much are you riding now?  The 15 mile ride has a rest stop at a winery 1/2 way through and there is a support wagon that can take you back to the ride start if you get too tired.

Let me know if I can offer any more info
