Hurricane Helene Update
We are thinking of our neighbors in SWVA and are grateful for the first responders and organizations that are providing assistance. Virginia's Blue Ridge region (Cities of Roanoke & Salem and Counties of Botetourt, Franklin, & Roanoke) was fortunate to sustain minimal damage from the storm and our local businesses are open and ready to welcome visitors.

The Rides: A partner event in the Gran Fondo National Series, Virginia's Blue Ridge Gran Fondo will feature three different routes -- 33, 43, and 75 miles. Each route has been carefully crafted to showcase Botetourt County's rich scenic beauty and it's warm & welcoming communities. Riders will enjoy the area's natural beauty including the rolling terrain, open farmland, forested mountains, and the James River. Each route will also feature memorable aid stations and charming small towns. This ride will NOT be timed from start to finish. Each route will have 2-3 sections that will be chip timed. Ride these sections hard if you want to, then regroup after. You'll still be able to stop and relax at all the aid stations.
Be sure to use special discount codes at checkout: "mountainridelocals" for $10 off the Mountain Ride, and "locals" for $5 of either of the other two rides.
