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.

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!

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 is a reverse to Jeffersonton initially using some of the roads we used several week ago from Stevensburg. There are no stores along the route. The Jeffersonton Community Center at 20 miles will serve as a rest stop.
The primary route is 39 miles with the short cut 30 miles. The routes split at the Community Center in Jeffersonton with an option for an earlier split option at 17 miles (intersection of Ryland Chapel and Lakota road which leads to Freeman Ford).
