Tour de Skyline returns for its 6th year in 2008
This year's date is May 9 and 10 -- don't worry you'll be back for Mother's day. This is a challenging but fun 220-mile bike ride over two days, with nearly 20,000 feet of climbing. We ride the length of Skyline Drive, leaving from Front Royal on Friday, spend the night in Waynesboro, then return on Saturday. This fun, yet challenging non-competitive event is open to anyone. This year due to rising interest and participation we will have two SAGS (one for the sub 7 hour riders, and one for the sub 9 hours riders). We will also have masseuse service once again thanks to AKS Massage School. We have 15 rooms reserved at the Quality Inn in Waynesboro so we have room for 25-30 riders. Please e-mail Kevin soon to get on the list. This is a first come first served affair. Remember the ride is free to RATS members and $10 for non members.
