Sunday

• Our jaunt northward will travel along gently rolling byways that pierce deep green woods and crisscross pastoral fields.

• Pedal through the scenic Virginia Villages of Troutville and Buchanan.

• A stop in Fincastle, the oldest established community west of the Blue Ridge, will give you an opportunity to view one of Thomas Jefferson's earliest architectural masterpieces.

• The majestic feeling of a summer's night spent under the star-lit canopy of the Shenandoah Valley. The sense of pride that comes with walking in the footsteps of some of history's greatest leaders. Welcome to Lexington, home to VMI and Washington and Lee University, and our home for the next three nights.

• Bike Virginia Talent Show Night! Sign up your act at info@bikevirginia.org. Don't miss the popular "Bike Virginia Singing Cyclists" -- in fact, why not join them?
