Our Signature Ride has 2 lengths, starting and ending from Upper Shirley Vineyards. We also ride from Williamsburg Winery to the tip of Jamestown Island. Custom itineraries may be crafted for special events or corporate teambuilding, which could include catered luncheons, cocktail spreads, and picnic spreads.

Lots to see on our Discover Downtown and the Richmond Waterfront Bike Tour.

Downtown tours are available now daily and we hope you’ll join us one day very soon!

We’re kicking off with a bioblitz on June 17th from 11 am - 1 pm at the Low line Gardens. A bioblitz takes place over a short period of time (two hours) in a specific area (The Low Line) and is intended to be a biological inventory to find and identify present species (insects in this case). You don’t need to be a scientist or entomologist, if you’re interested in participating, we’d love to have you! During the bioblitz, the volunteer who takes care of our mason bee hive will be on site to chat about these important pollinators. There will also be folks from Richmond VA Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities, as well as Bee City RVA — so come on down to celebrate and learn more about our pollinators.
Next steps:
1. Visit the event page, create a free iNaturalist account, and let us know you’re coming. (bit.ly/CT-bioblitz) 🐝
2. Come to the Low Line Gardens on June 17th with your smart phone and/or camera, good walking shoes, sun protection, and water. 📸
3. Get ready to help us see what insects are benefiting from our urban green spaces.🌳
May is National Bike Month, and although we're swiftly moving into June, you can still explore the Virginia Capital Trail—a two-wheeled tour through history offers luxury and adventure.
