Shenandoah Custom Bike Tour
Shenandoah Custom Bike Tour
Overview
While on the West Virginia “Wild and Wonderful” Fundo tour, we fell in love with the area and the neighboring mountains of Virginia. In 2019, we decided this is ideal riding in these two states. With a name like “Wild and Wonderful “and “VA is for Lovers”, you can’t go wrong. These two states are packed with Civil War history, farming and coal heritage, outdoor activities, raw natural beauty and good ole southern hospitality that will create a memorable cycling and adventure experience you should not miss.
Tour Highlights
- Cuyahoga National Park Amish country
- Traffic free riding trails
- Underground Railroad history
- Bridge of Dreams covered bridge Little Miami State Park

Rider Level
Active – Advanced
Minimum Group Size
6 guests
Distance
32 – 90 miles daily
Our daily rides are designed for what we would call a “fit” rider because of the short, steep hills. Daily distances will range between 32 and 80 miles depending on the terrain for the day. Thus, we would classify this tour as appropriate for the “Active” level of Rider, not necessarily the Advanced rider.
