The event takes place annually on the third Saturday in September. Flanked by the Appalachians and the Blue Ridge mountains, the Shenandoah Valley is ablaze with color during the height of fall. Bike Shenandoah offers a relaxed ride atmosphere for cyclists of all ages and abilities to appreciate the area's natural beauty, while enjoying the company of other riders and supporting global and local m
ission and service. Please see our website bikeshenandoah.org for event information, registration, and sponsorship opportunities!
