Charlottesville & Albemarle County: Your Ride Begins Here!

Charlottesville and Albemarle County have gained worldwide attention for their historic attractions, outdoor activities, and award-winning wine, beer, and cider.

Now, it’s time to add to that list. The Charlottesville/Albemarle area has found itself in the center of the cycling spotlight – and for good reason. It was made for cycling!

It has now attracted the attention of the USA Cycling Team, who will use this area as their training grounds. The team will prepare physically and mentally for the UCI World Championships in September. But, the good news is you don’t have to be one of the top cyclists in the country to enjoy this locale too.
