Fredericksburg Cyclists
Fredericksburg Cyclists is a cycling community founded in 1984 and incorporated in 1989 to foster safe riding, social activities and social events among road cyclists in the Fredericksburg area. We are a medium-sized community hosting at least three (3) group rides weekly. See upcoming events below and join us for our next ride!
Our signature event, the “Cannonball” century, occurs annually in September and is open to members (volunteers need not register) and non-members. Registration is now open so please join us now.

In the spirit of community and giving, the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank is our charitable partner for this year's Cannonball Century event. A portion of the proceeds from every registration will assist them in their mission to feed those in need.

Update: 06/03/2020
To All Members,
Governor Northam announced yesterday that Phase 2 for our region will start this Friday, June 5th. This will allow groups of up to 50 people for outdoor activities. We will be lifting the 10 riders per group restriction, starting this Saturday. The rest of the aforementioned social distancing guidelines will remain in effect.
Be safe, Dave
A reminder that for these rides, we are following these guidelines for everyone’s safety:
- All riders are encouraged to wear a mask or other face covering, and to maintain social distancing to the maximum extent practicable at the start location, during the ride, and at rest stops.
- No one other than the ride leader will touch the pen and clipboard. Check in with the leader and he/she will record your attendance. If you’re not on the list, you’re not on the ride.
- No more than 10 riders in a group. While we cannot limit the number of riders that come to a ride. If more than 10 arrive, break up into smaller groups and leave in proper intervals. Following the guidelines is for your friends safety, it’s up to you to protect each other
- When riding in a group maintain safe distancing, 6 bike lengths, when following another rider to avoid slipstream/drafting (based on triathlon rules that prohibit drafting)
If you have questions on the rides or ideas for new rides, please contact the Ride Leaders or myself.
Ride safe!
