Jul 12, 2008 - Galax, VA

Bicycling and Barbeque is a non-competitive cycling event held on the roads in and around Galax, Virginia.

We have routes for every level of rider. Beginning cyclists will enjoy the Delhart valley/Fairview loop while experienced cyclists looking for a challenging ride will "enjoy" combining both loops into a wonderfully challenging 64 mile ride. One of the things that sets Bicycling and Barbeque apart from other rides is our routing. Specifically, we allow you to choose your route during the ride. At several points during the ride you can choose to add or eliminate mileage. Feeling good -- add on loop #2. Having a challenging day -- cut back the mileage, and still enjoy the day by riding only loop #1 (46 miles) or loop #2 (25 miles).

2 Cash Prizes! BBBQ is not a race but we thought a few "performance" prizes would add to the fun. There will be two random drawings for cash: one drawing for the 1st ten riders to complete the entire route and one drawing for all other riders. That's right, riding faster will increase your chances of winning the money!

Lower prices! That's right, for 2008 there will be no upcharge for ride-day registration. There will have to be an ordering date for T-Shirts so pre-registering will ensure that you receive all of the goodies. Pre-registering also really helps me plan the ride-day logistics (please).

Pre-register 5 riders and the 6th rider is free! Take the free entry or split the price break between 6 riders. (This offer only for mail-in preregistration. Please include all 6 entries in one envelope.)

All proceeds benefit the Free Clinic of the Twin Counties (our area's only provider of free medical care to local residents who can't afford any other option). Don't wonder about where your money goes. Checks are made out directly to the Free Clinic of Galax and are tax-exempt to the fullest extent of the law. Online registration is processed by ActiveZach and payment is made directly by them to the Free Clinic. (The Free Clinic is a 501c3 organization.)
