The Tour de Chesapeake is a weekend cycling event along the scenic and flat roads of Mathews County, Virginia. It is the perfect way to start your cycling season and warm up for Bike Virginia.

Join a thousand other riders in bicycling flat, rural Mathews County, located on the western shore of the southern Chesapeake Bay. Never more than ½ mile from water, Mathews features quiet and picturesque roadways for cycling.

The Tour de Chesapeake is perfect as a family biking adventure. It will also give the intermediate rider and the experienced veteran a perfect spring warm-up. Various routes are available on the Tour de Chesapeake, so that you can choose the mileage you desire. The Tour de Chesapeake is as close to a “create your own personal tour” as you’ll find.

Mileage options range between 15 - 62 miles.

All routes have fully-supported rest stops, route signage and SAG support. Routes open at 7:30 am and close at 5 pm.

The Tour de Chesapeake Tour Book that you receive at registration will have a color map and complete details on all of the rides available. Be sure to attend orientation when you arrive.
