Thursday Variety Pack (Remington) (07 May 2026)

Thu, 07 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Remington "Variety Pack" Ride

The Remington "Variety Pack' rides leave from the parking on John Stone street in Remington right behind City Hall. Available rest rooms at the Exxon station a block away and perhaps in the City Hall building itself.

This first route is 44 miles, so we have designed a "bail out" shorter route that cuts off 7 miles (continue on Casanova and proceed direct to route 28 crossing over at Calverton.). The former "Bollywood" market at Calverton is now La Chinquita Mart and Deli.

Elk Run store is on the route at 33 miles.

Thursday Evening Ride (07 May 2026)

Thursday Evening Ride

Pace: AB

Location:

Andrews Chapel UMC

1732 Brooke Rd Stafford, VA

Please park near the gazebo and not near the main building.

There are no restroom facilities available at the church. There are restrooms available at Aquia Landing Park.

This is a faster paced ride due to the relatively flat route. There is a section of "rollers" and one hill on the route that can be challenging, but fun. The route is well marked and several of the legs are in neighborhoods or back roads and very safe. Riders of all abilities are welcome, but the average pace for this ride is 16 - 20 mph.

Distances: 11, 17, 20 and 25. The 11 mile route is relatively flat and the 17, 20 and 25 mile routes will be more challenging.

The Friday morning coffee ride is a one hour-ish, easy paced 12-16mph no drop ride. The route meanders around Town with no climbing. This ride is intended to be an inclusive casual/social ride, with optional coffee to follow. What a great way to stretch out your tired legs or loosen them up before your weekend ride. The coffee ride is just what you have been looking for to start your Fridays!

This is a fair weather ride, so the ride will be cancelled due to Wet roads (road spray) or rain. Coffee will still be optional.

Hopewell Church Saturday Ride (09 May 2026)

Sat, 09 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Hopewell Church Ride

Location: 12018 Guinea Dr, Woodford, VA 22580

Come out and ride with us from Hopewell Methodist Church in Woodford, Va. Situated in a rural area just over the Spotsylvania County line, Hopewell allows us to branch out in multiple directions on safe, scenic, country roads. April through November, we break into multiple groups based on rider speed and distances. Slower groups generally go 20 to 36 miles at a 14-15mph pace, while faster riders opt for longer distances of at least 40 miles at a 16-18 mph pace.

During the normal riding season, Saturday rides feature the official No-Drop ride; however, all groups keep an eye out for newer riders and try to wait at intersections for anyone who is close behind. Look forward to riding with you!

Group: ABC

RWGPS Routes: https://ridewithgps.com/events/123890-hm-hopewell-methodist-church

Ride leader: TBD

Ride is NO GO if Weather Channel predicted temperature is 40F and below at ride start time or rain is forecast at 15% or higher.

Breakfast Club - Sunday Edition (10 May 2026)

Sun, 10 May 2026 12:30:00 GMT

Description: Join Mike for a lovely early morning ride around the country roads of Caroline and Spotsylvania Counties. I will keep a relaxed, conversational pace and usually travel about 28 to 38 miles. We will average around 13-15 mph depending upon how much talking is going on. This is a conversation and laughter full, no stress ride. This is a special edition of their regularly scheduled ride from Caroline County Community Center and will be doing no more than 42 mile loop at 13 to 15 mph average. The distance and route will be discussed at start time. I have been doing this ride for years and know these roads better than anyone. Iwould love to have some newcomers join me!

Location: Caroline County Community Center, 17202 Richmond Turnpike, Milford, VA

Start time: 8:30 am

Pace: We will talk to group and see what majority wants on each ride. This is a no stress, social, fun ride. I look forward to everyone joining us! No one will be left behind! This is a relaxed ride but please be sure you are comfortable cycling a distance of about 28 miles or more before joining.

Come Bike the Erie Canal Towpath With Me! (13 Jun 2026)

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Come Bike the Erie Canal Towpath With Me!

I (Joe Shunk) am planning to ride the Erie Canal Trail June 13-19 and willing to lead the ride. The ride will primarily be on the tow path, but there are a few sections that require riding on the road. Also, we will be navigating to/from hotels, state parks, through towns, for lunch, dinner or some sightseeing. ...bring your lights and mirrors.

Most of the towpath is a hard pack gravel surface. However, there are some parts of the towpath which are very much like the C&O canal path....similar to a two-lane country road that can be soft and muddy...depending upon the weather. I am running a 42 cm tire set on my touring bike.

Some towns have more than one hotel, but in the interest of keeping this short I only listed one.

June can be cool in NY, so make sure to bring rain gear and warm clothes.

I tried to keep the mileage fun,...errr...ummm..except the last day.... with time to stop for lunch or checking out the sights each day. There are a lot of interesting exhibits along and nearby the canal path.

...goes without saying, but I'll say it. Your bike needs to be in good condition. You will need the basic repair items and know how to use them. There are some bike shops, but I have not checked their locations or hours of operations. You should be familiar with setup of your tent and use of your sleep system.

Note**

If there are more than two others interested in attending I can check with the shuttle service, but I need to know immediately...their calendar is filling up. In this case, the reservation of their big van will require a non-refundable deposit.

Below is the plan:

June 12- Drive to the Hampton Inn and Suites, Albany, NY Airport

45 British American Blvd

Latham, NY

518-782-7500

There is a $25 charge to leave your vehicle at the hotel.

June 13- Pick-up by APoint Shuttle Service at 8am.

Cost - $700 for two people, $50 additional for a third person.

I did look into renting a vehicle ...minivan at Albany Airport, but the logistics would be challenging...not to mention gas for a fully loaded minivan, Thruway toll, Uber picking up/dropping off rental, etc.

Arrive Buffalo 1pm...ish.

Ride 32 miles to Lockport, NY (mm32)

Hotel - Lockport Inn & Suites

June 14- Ride 42 miles to Brockport, NY (mm75)

Hotel - Hampton Inn Brockport

June 15- Ride 41 miles to Macedon, NY (mm114)

Tenting - Twilight on the Erie RV Resort

Showers, bathrooms and restaurant,...but plan to stop and pick up something before.

June 16- Ride 64 miles to Camillus, NY (mm178)

Tru by Hilton Syracuse - Camillus

June 17- Ride 42 miles to Sylvan Beach State Park, NY (mm220)

Tenting, showers, bathrooms,...restaurant, ...but plan to stop and pick up something beforehand.

June 18- Ride 52 miles to Little Falls Canal Harbor and Rotary Park, NY (mm 272)

Tenting...pick up food prior.

June 19- Ride 70 miles to Hampton Inn...stay, and drive home next day.
