Wilderness Road Ride- Saturday The 17th annual Wilderness Road Ride takes place on May 24th (Saturday). It's a scenic and historical adventure in the splendor of southwest Virginia's New River Valley. The road ride follows the historic route of Daniel Boone. There are four choices of routes (14, 29, 38, 57 miles) ranging from a relaxed journey for beginner cyclists to a challenge for the fittest athlete. Coastal Racing has 40 spots reserved for club members.

Mountains of Misery (MoM)- Sunday

Are you ready to climb? The 2008 Mountains of Misery Ride (eleven year anniversary!) takes place on Sunday, May 25th. It features a challenging Century and a quad searing Double Metric (200 kilometers/ 125 miles). The Challenge Century (100 miles) has nearly 10,000 feet of climbing. The double metric over 13,000 feet. Don't worry, or maybe worry- both routes still end with the climb up to beautiful Mountain Lake, a five-kilometer category 1 climb, 11.9%. Limited to 500 riders. Coastal Racing has 40 spots reserved for club members.

From the Race Director:

"Wilderness Road Ride is designed for the beginning rider and is family friendly. It has some hills but nothing tough. We have a lot of folks from NOVA and Baltimore area and they seem to like the routes. I know a few that have done Mountains of Misery with tri bikes and also someone who has done it with a fixed wheel (he was out there awhile). It is a very tough ride."

Hope this helps,

James DeMarco

TRAVEL & ACCOMODATIONS We will leave Virginia Beach from the Conte’s Hilltop parking lot on Friday, May 23^rd at 2:30pm. We will be staying at the Courtyard by Marriott in Blacksburg, which is the official headquarters hotel for the ride. Packet pick-up is from 5-9pm at the hotel. A block of hotel rooms have been reserved for our club members. The club will coordinate all of your ride and hotel registration, so do NOT register for the ride or hotel on your own if you want to be included in our hotel and ride block. Club members approved club funds to be used to help cover a portion of the weekend expenses.
