Dear Fall Foliage Bike Festival riders and friends,
After much deliberation, we regret to inform you that our volunteer festival committee has decided to close our ride down after 34 years. We will not be offering the October 2025 ride as originally planned. We want to thank you all for coming year after year and for helping us distribute more than $1 million dollars across our local community — much of which has been donated to local charities, church and school facilities, and rest stop groups. While we are sad to let this ride go, we are grateful for all of you and the good times we enjoyed while riding together over three decades!
Shenandoah Valley Still Offers Some Great Rides!
For those of you who can’t imagine a year without a ride in Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley, there are two local rides that we would like to recommend. The Queen City Century on June 14th is a single-day century offering four different “clover leaf” loops to create the mileage that’s right for you. Proceeds from this ride allows Renewing Homes of Greater Augusta to perform critical home repairs for vulnerable homeowners in Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County, VA. https://www.lwqccbiketour.com/
The Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes on September 6 offers three different routes of 27, 44 and 64 miles hosted out of Rockbridge Vineyards. Proceeds from this annual ride are donated to Boulder Crest Retreat which is dedicated to helping military personnel, veterans, first responders and their families. https://www.valleyvetsride4heroes.com
Thanks again for your patronage and friendship over the years.
Stay Safe and Ride On!
Shenandoah Fall Foliage Bike Festival Committee
