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 mission and service. Please see our website bikeshenandoah.org for event information, registration, and sponsorship opportunities! Please support us by riding, sponsoring a rider, inviting other riders, sharing our posts on social media, tagging us in bike day photos, and by thanking our event sponsors!
