Since 1988, road cyclists in Madison County Virginia and surrounding counties have gathered on the 3rd Saturday in May for a tour of Madison County.  Routes this year are 22, 46, and 65 miles (a metric century.) Between 300 and 400 riders now participate each year. The ride is sponsored by the Madison County Parks and Recreation Authority.

The Intermediate Route—This is a beautiful and challenging 45 mile route whose first half and final fifteen miles shares the metric century route.  It will feature rest stops at 20 miles & 31 miles.  Those choosing the intermediate route will leave at 8:45am.

The Family Ride—Ride as long as you want on the flat or gently rising roads around Syria.   A planned route featuring several out and backs totals 20 miles. These riders will leave at 9:00 am.
