Adventure Cycling comes to Reston March 6
Adventure Cycling Association is a national bicycling organization with the mission to "inspire and empower people to travel by bicycle." Formerly known as Bikecentennial, the group has developed a network of national bike routes, including the original Bikecentennial Route 76 (TransAmerica Trail) extending from Yorktown, VA to Astoria, WA. The Atlantic Coast route from Maine to Florida passes through Fairfax County. The group celebrates their 40th anniversary this year with a number of events.

A bit about our hosts: Reston, VA, the only designated Bicycle Friendly Community in Fairfax County, is home to over 100 miles of paved and natural trails. Bisected by the W&OD Trail, the Gerry Connolly Cross Country Trail, the Fairfax County Parkway Trails, and providing a gateway to mountain biking trails at Lake Fairfax, Reston offers something for every kind of cyclist. Local biking organizations can help you plan a ride, a day trip, or even an adventure, and fill you in on what's going on in local advocacy to enhance the roads and trails in our area.
Volunteer? Can you lend a hand? We are looking for a volunteer or two to help by prepping the gathering location and cleaning up. Please contact me at info@adventurecycling.org or (406) 532-2751, if you are interested.
