The coffee ride is just what you have been looking for to start your Fridays!

      <title>"Leaf Patrol" Bethel Church (18 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is our annual "Leaf Patrol" clean-up of the Bethel Church lawn and cemetery.&amp;nbsp; Bethel church has been a long-time friend of Fredericksburg Cyclists.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This is strictly a volunteer activity, but the more who show the faster the job gets done. That said, we generally have a good turnout and the members enjoy the camaraderie shared during the work.&amp;nbsp; Come when you can and stay as long or as short a period as you need.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have them, please bring leaf blowers, rakes, weed eaters, small limb loppers and most importantly tarps.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;We drag the leaves to the tree line behind the church for dumping.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The church's restrooms will be accessible while we are there.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If we get rained out the following Saturday will be the make-up day.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hopewell Church Saturday Ride (18 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 48px;"&gt;H&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;opewell&lt;/font&gt; Church Ride&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;nbsp;12018 Guinea Dr, Woodford, VA 22580&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; Look forward to riding with you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are no longer using or maintaining the former "marked" routes from Hopewell.&amp;nbsp; We have certain canned routes that the ride leaders may choose or the group can determine where they want to ride.&amp;nbsp; We will put the RWGPS files on the Hopewell calendar soon.&amp;nbsp; "Standard" i.e. frequently used routes include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; The 28-mile to Nancy Wright's with a return via Sunshine School and Bethel Church.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803731" target="_blank"&gt;https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803731&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;Thursday Variety Pack (Caroline)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;This is the first ride of our 2026 Variety Pack season.&amp;nbsp; The Variety Pack is a Thursday am ride which start from one of six rotating locations (Caroline, Hanover, Arrit Park, Chewning, Lenn Park and Remington).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;This route is an easy old favorite.&amp;nbsp; There is a shorter option for those who want to not go as far.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It is 37 miles with an alternate of 29 miles.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;The Caroline Community Center has rest rooms and should be open.&amp;nbsp; If you get there early, go around to the south side of the building and go into the Health Center.&amp;nbsp; They have always been good about letting us use the facilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;This route uses a short stretch of 301 before reaching Sparta road.&amp;nbsp; We have never experienced an issue either coming or going on our Caroline routes which use this stretch.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Thursday Evening Ride (23 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 36px;"&gt;Thursday Evening Ride&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pace:&lt;/strong&gt; AB&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Andrews Chapel UMC&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please park near the gazebo and not near the main building&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;There are no restroom facilities available at the church. There are restrooms available at Aquia Landing Park.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This is a faster paced ride due to the relatively flat route.&amp;nbsp; There is a section of "rollers" and one hill on the route that can be challenging, but fun.&amp;nbsp; The route is well marked and several of the legs are in neighborhoods or back roads and very safe.&amp;nbsp; Riders of all abilities are welcome, but the average pace for this ride is 16 - 20 mph.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distances:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; 11, 17, 20 and 25.&amp;nbsp; The 11 mile route is relatively flat and the 17, 20 and 25 mile routes will be more challenging.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;strong&gt;Parking&lt;/strong&gt;: Behind the coffee shop,Street parking or the VRE lot.

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  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!
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  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.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Ride Leader&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp; Todd Wunderly, (703)615-4280

      <title>Montross Group Ride (26 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Aptos" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Montross Group Ride&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Aptos"&gt;Montross is off the beaten path, but worth the drive.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;We'll meet at the public parking (With public restrooms) across the street from Northern Neck Brewing Company (15804 Kings Hwy, Montross, VA 22520).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I am told (by me) that they have great IPAs and smash burgers.&amp;nbsp; All routes go through historic Kinsale (Visit Kinsale Market w/Food Truck and Wine Store), pass several wineries and go through at least one waterfront neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; Walking distance from the parking lot in Montross includes a great coffee shop (Art of Coffee), Northern Neck Brewing Company and a home-grown Italian restaurant (Angelo's Pizza).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Aptos"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Routes&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Montross Ride at a 16-17 MPH pace.&amp;nbsp; Two routes to choose from.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;46 mile Option:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ridewithgps.com/routes/38729786__;!!E4HZMw!EBFjCHmopJFVP3Jw9ZVyNe-aBP3I7jcz9vH0uFfY82EX5vZQTMjxgBtmTKpPXvliJCdQHdQ-C-KLbJKfOg4bNQ$"&gt;https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38729786&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;62 mile Option:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ridewithgps.com/routes/39524836__;!!E4HZMw!EBFjCHmopJFVP3Jw9ZVyNe-aBP3I7jcz9vH0uFfY82EX5vZQTMjxgBtmTKpPXvliJCdQHdQ-C-KLbJJe7LTeXg$"&gt;https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39524836&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Based on what everyone does on Saturday, we'll likely do the 46 mile route at a recovery pace.&amp;nbsp; However, if everyone is fresh, we can do the metric.&amp;nbsp; The metric adds an additional leg to the Rappahannock at Naylors Beach and finishes with a "gentle" climb back into Montross.&amp;nbsp; There are public restrooms as well as a coffee shop, pizzeria, and brewery at the start/finish.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Start:&amp;nbsp; 0900&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Address:&amp;nbsp; Court Square, Montross, Va.&amp;nbsp; 22520&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Google Map:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/maps.app.goo.gl/iGUpjZ8RHS22tnzL7__;!!E4HZMw!EBFjCHmopJFVP3Jw9ZVyNe-aBP3I7jcz9vH0uFfY82EX5vZQTMjxgBtmTKpPXvliJCdQHdQ-C-KLbJLH912bLA$"&gt;https://maps.app.goo.gl/iGUpjZ8RHS22tnzL7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are directly across the street from Northern Neck Brewing Company - They have great IPAs and Smash Burgers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 48px;"&gt;H&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;opewell&lt;/font&gt; Church Ride&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;nbsp;12018 Guinea Dr, Woodford, VA 22580&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; April through November, we&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; Look forward to riding with you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are no longer using or maintaining the former "marked" routes from Hopewell.&amp;nbsp; We have certain canned routes that the ride leaders may choose or the group can determine where they want to ride.&amp;nbsp; We will put the RWGPS files on the Hopewell calendar soon.&amp;nbsp; "Standard" i.e. frequently used routes include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; The 28-mile to Nancy Wright's with a return via Sunshine School and Bethel Church.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803731" target="_blank"&gt;https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803731&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; The 33-mile to Quarters road with a return via Sunshine School and Bethel Church.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803773" target="_blank"&gt;https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803773&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; April through November, we&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; Look forward to riding with you!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Paul's History ride #2 (03 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paul's&amp;nbsp; History ride #2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the first running of this ride for 2026.&amp;nbsp; We selected a Sunday to ensure those who cannot attend a weekday ride have a chance to do these rides.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To avoid some of the hills on the original route, the route for this ride has been modified.&amp;nbsp; The new RWGPS file will be uploaded soon.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ride will be approximately 20-23 miles at a social, no drop pace with frequent stops for a discussion of the local history and historic properties.&amp;nbsp; Come hear about the eccentric artist Salvador Dali and his feud with the equally talented Anais Nin, the first Courthouse in Caroline county and the extensive Colonial plantation "Hare Forest."&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;We will also pass three of the surviving mid-18th century houses built by Edmund Pendleton.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ride will follow the history ride route (see RWGPS file below), but may be modified to allow for more open riding and fewer hills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Community Center is closed on Sunday so please plan accordingly.&amp;nbsp; There are restrooms at Caroline County park behind the high school, a McDonalds in town and other possible locations.&amp;nbsp; There is no water on the route, but we will have some (and soda) at the end of the ride.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;RWGPS:&amp;nbsp; BEING MODIFIED&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;POC:&amp;nbsp; Paul Cariker pjcariker@comcast.net&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.).&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The former "Bollywood" market at Calverton is now La Chinquita Mart and Deli.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Elk Run store is on the route at 33 miles.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; April through November, we&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; Look forward to riding with you!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hopewell Church Saturday Ride (23 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 48px;"&gt;H&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;opewell&lt;/font&gt; Church Ride&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;nbsp;12018 Guinea Dr, Woodford, VA 22580&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; April through November, we&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; Look forward to riding with you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp; ABC&lt;/p&gt;
