The Northern Neck River Ride

The Northern Neck River Ride is a small cycling event based in Kilmarnock, Virginia, with a rider cap of 50 and route choices of 10, 17, 29, 40, and 65 miles. The shortest option is a family-friendly 10-mile loop on quiet farm roads, while the longer routes offer stronger riders more distance without altering the basic countryside feel of the day. The ride uses wooded lanes and roads past farm fields, historic towns, churches, and old farms in Virginia’s Northern Neck. Rest stops are set along the routes, and the entry fee supports the Northern Neck Bike Club’s plan for a new mountain bike trail network in Kilmarnock’s Town Centre Park. It is listed as a non-WAB event, so riders are not covered by WAB insurance, and the coordinator’s role is communication rather than leading the ride.
