11th Annual Tour de Midnight – Multiple Locations
There will be Satellite Locations to ride and participate in the 11th Annual TDM Bike Ride. One Satellite Location will be in Northern Virginia at the Caboose Brewery (520 Mill Street Vienna, VA 22180). The second Satellite Location will be at the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail and Big Ugly Brewery in Chesapeake, CVA. Satellite locations will be connected virtually to the Main Ride location at the Midnight Brewery. Riders at Satellite locations will ride, run, or walk their own distances along bike paths in the area of the breweries and return to the designated Satellite location no later than noon on event day to be part of the after-ride event. The Dismal Swam Canal Trail location will also offer a 50K Ride through the Chesapeake countryside. Riders at the satellite location will receive an event glass (all participants will receive two brewery vouchers to be used on event day for brewery products not to exceed a specified amount). They will also receive any merchandise or raffle tickets they purchased online. Raffle tickets may or may not be sold on event day at the satellite locations as the tickets will be drawn at the Midnight Brewery on Event Day.
The Main Ride location originates from the Midnight Brewery in Rockville, VA which is located just west of Richmond on I-64 in Central Virginia. There are three distance options to choose from 17, 35, and 65 miles. Come and see the beauty of the fall foliage and ride as your journey will have you traversing through the farmlands of Rockville, historic Town of Montpelier, while some of you will have breathe taking views of Woodson’s Mill, Lake Anna and a crossing of the South Anna River. Afterwards, everyone is invited to enjoy the hospitality of Midnight Brewery.
Proceeds support the Epilepsy Foundation of Virginia. As always, there will have live music, food trucks, and family entertainment.
