The Famous Beer Ride
Wednesday, April 22 – 20 miles, 1,727 feet of climbing
This is a relaxed shake-out ride if you arrive early. It’s not an official group ride, just a chance to spin the legs and get familiar with the area. The route starts and ends at Deschutes Brewery in downtown Roanoke and rolls through local roads with a steady, manageable effort.
Blue Ridge Parkway Out and Back
Thursday, April 23rd, 10am – 65 miles, 6,203 feet of climbing
A legendary local route featuring some of the best riding in the region. Expect sustained climbs, fast descents, and long stretches of scenic mountain roads. This is a proper day in the saddle, so pace accordingly and come prepared.
Bridges & Biscuits
Friday, April 24, 10am – 32 miles, 1,794 feet of climbing
A classic route that crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway four times. You’ll ride low-traffic rural roads with rolling terrain and steady climbs. Scenic all day, but it adds up, so manage effort early.
The Bradshaw Loop
Saturday, April 25, 10am – 53 miles, 3,025 feet of climbing
A local favorite to close out the weekend. This route mixes climbing with fast sections and great views. Be extra cautious on Route 311 as traffic can be faster in that section.
