Tuesday Evening Ride!
Pace: ABCD
Location:
Mormon Church
20 Boscobel Rd.
Fredericksburg, VA 22405
Please park at the back of the church in the parking area on the left. There are no restroom facilities available, so plan accordingly. The average pace for this ride is between 13 mph to 19 mph depending on the riders that show up. The route is well marked at the turn points. The majority of the ride is on back roads that don't have a lot of vehicle traffic and are safe.
Please do not change clothes outside of your car because they have youth events that occur on some ride evenings.

Hopewell Winter Ride
Location: 12018 Guinea Dr, Woodford, VA 22580
Come out and ride with us from Hopewell Methodist Church in Woodford, Va. Situated in a rural area just over the Spotsylvania County line, Hopewell allows us to branch out in multiple directions on safe, scenic, country roads. April through November, we break into multiple groups based on rider speed and distances. Slower groups generally go 20 to 36 miles at a 14-15mph pace, while faster riders opt for longer distances of at least 40 miles at a 16-18 mph pace.
During the normal riding season, Saturday rides feature the official No-Drop ride; however, all groups keep an eye out for newer riders and try to wait at intersections for anyone who is close behind. Look forward to riding with you!
We are no longer using or maintaining the former "marked" routes from Hopewell. We have certain canned routes that the ride leaders may choose or the group can determine where they want to ride. We will put the RWGPS files on the Hopewell calendar soon. "Standard" i.e. frequently used routes include:
1. The 28-mile to Nancy Wright's with a return via Sunshine School and Bethel Church. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803731
2. The 33-mile to Quarters road with a return via Sunshine School and Bethel Church. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803773
3. The 36 mile route to Bowling Green https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803897
4. The 42-mile route to Chilesburg via Bull Church, Cedar Fork and Jericho roads. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803843

Paul's social ride to Rapidan
First, to answer your question YES, A and B riders are also welcome and encouraged to participate.
This is a easy, social ride from Lenn Park in Stevensburg to Rapidan and return. The distance from the Park RT is 32 miles, but additional miles can be added by following Batna road to Lignum and back on the return leg.
The ride leader is so serious this will be an easy ride that he is leaving his e-bike at home.
They just paved the parking area at the Park. We will start from the south end of the park next to the children's playground. There is a port-a-potty there as well as on the other side of the park by the ball fields.
This is a no-drop ride.
Please register.

This is our annual "Leaf Patrol" clean-up of the Bethel Church lawn and cemetery. Bethel church has been a long-time friend of Fredericksburg Cyclists. This is strictly a volunteer activity, but the more who show the faster the job gets done. That said, we generally have a good turnout and the members enjoy the camaraderie shared during the work. Come when you can and stay as long or as short a period as you need.
If you have them, please bring leaf blowers, rakes, weed eaters, small limb loppers and most importantly tarps. We drag the leaves to the tree line behind the church for dumping.
The church's restrooms will be accessible while we are there.
If we get rained out the following Saturday will be the make-up day.
