Hi All,
We have a great opportunity to do a trip to Virginia for some road training
Leslie lived in the area for years and he knows all the routes so we can do
flats, hills or mountains
It is green and WARM! :)
AGENDA:
1. Fri April 18 6:00 AM: Leave Oakville
2. Arrive Nellysford, VA, around 4 pm and have a ride before the end of the
day.
3. Sat April 19 - ride Nellysford
4. Sun April 20 and Mon April 21: Drive to Roanoke and ride there all day
and half of Monday,
5. drive north as far as we can on Monday afternoon and staying overnight
enroute, probably in PA. Tuesday morning we would be back in Oakville .
We have all kind of great routes in these two places. I would be looking at
60-75 km/day or so. These are training rides!
Use your compact chain rings - 34/50
ACCOMMODATIONS:
The Acorn Inn in Nellyford is owned by serious cyclists and is very
reasonable (approx $60 per person): http://www.bbonline.com/va/acorninn/
The Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke is a wonderful old Southern railway hotel where
I have stayed several times. It is more expensive but split two ways is a
very good deal: http://www.hotelroanoke.com/125th_Anniversary/index.php.
We would be looking at approx $75 each per night.
We can also pop into a few wineries and Leslie know lots of places to eat at
en route.
