Smithfield Challenge Bike Tour
Join the Peninsula Bicycling Association on its annual Spring ride, The Smithfield Challenge, starting from Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield, VA. The park is near downtown Smithfield at 301 Jericho Rd. Rides of 32, 50 and 62miles take place on quiet and lightly-traveled roads though Isle of Wight County. Roads are mostly flat with a few small rollers. Enjoy scenic views of Lake Burnt Mills and Lake Prince. Eagle sightings are common along these lakes. Afterwards, we will have a hot dog cookout in the park before you leave. If you like to kayak, bring it and take a little boat ride after you refuel. The creek goes out to the Pagan River near Smithfield Station Restaurant.
