Description: Join us this year for our annual Spring Membership Ride at a brand new location! This year we will begin and end at the King George YMCA. Riders will pedal along the quiet roads of King George and Westmoreland Counties with potential views of both the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers. Longer distance riders will reach Colonial Beach, Montross, and other interesting destinations. 20, 35, 43, and 65 mile routes are in the planning stages so we guarantee a ride for every kind of rider.
Afterwards, have lunch with your fellow members at the YMCA pavilion. The club will provide burgers, hot dogs, water, tea, and lemonade. We ask that you bring a healthy side dish to share. Vegetable and fruit salads are terrific! Whatever you bring, please make sure your side dish is chilled safely in a cooler during the ride.
Cost: Free but must be a member of Fredericksburg Cyclists to attend. Join Us for just $20 ($30 for family). Then come back to this calendar page to register for the ride. We limit attendance to 80 participants.
