Join us for a weekend of great cycling in historic Williamsburg, Virginia. We have scheduled this trip early in the season to avoid the hordes of tourists and the heat. Our accommodations will be at the Patrick Henry Inn, located in the heart of Williamsburg. The hotel is across the street from Colonial Williamsburg; after cycling, walk over and explore the world's largest living history museum with hundreds of restored, reconstructed and historically furnished buildings and with costumed interpreters telling the stories of the men and women of the 18th century city. The Williamsburg area features some of the most historic areas in the country. Ride to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. Visit Yorktown, known as the place where Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington. Take the ferry across James River and ride the gently rolling countryside of Surry County. Or visit the nearby ever-popular Busch Gardens theme park.

And the cycling? Beautiful scenery, flat terrain, historic sites and lots of fresh air. Tandems and recumbents will also appreciate the gentle terrain accompanied by bucolic scenery. In response to those of you who have joined us in previous years, we will offer specially selected ride routes that avoid the Colonial Parkway. Also by popular demand, we will once again include a joint ride and a Saturday picnic lunch with the Williamsburg club, giving members a chance to meet fellow cyclists in the Williamsburg area. Enjoy a social on Friday night, buffet breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday morning, a pre-dinner social and buffet dinner on Saturday night.
