4th Annual Tour de VRE – Supporting Breast Cancer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This ride is meant to raise awareness, especially for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. You are asked to wear PINK socks for the ride.

You may begin at either Manassas (Broad Run Station) for 35 miles or Springfield (Backlick Road Station) for a family fun ride option of 8.2 miles.

If you start in Manassas at Broad Run Station, transportation will be provided to the starting line.  You may park at the Broad Run Station. Please know that the transportation will depart at 8:00 a.m. with or without you, so don’t be late!

If you choose to begin in Springfield at Backlick Road Station, please park at the station and plan to join the pre-ride briefing at 8:45 a.m. The ride departs Backlick Road Station promptly at 9:00 a.m.

Transportation will return riders to the starting point. The transportation will depart Broad Run Station promptly at 1:00 p.m. If you need a ride back, don’t miss it!

For the safety of the group the organizer arranged for escort vehicles within and at the rear of the peloton. Riders will be able to store their gear (such as a jacket you may shed as we ride) in one of the vehicles and retrieve items at the end. Additionally, if a rider has a mechanical/flat, they can place their bike in a vehicle and ride to the next station stop for support.
