This is a easy, social ride from Lenn Park in Stevensburg to Rapidan and return. The distance from the Park RT is 32 miles, but additional miles can be added by following Batna road to Lignum and back on the return leg.

The ride leader is so serious this will be an easy ride that he is leaving his e-bike at home.

Hopewell Church Tuesday Ride (08 Sep 2026)

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Hopewell Church Ride

Location: 12018 Guinea Dr, Woodford, VA 22580

Come out and ride with us from Hopewell Methodist Church in Woodford, Va. Situated in a rural area just over the Spotsylvania County line, Hopewell allows us to branch out in multiple directions on safe, scenic, country roads. April through November, we break into multiple groups based on rider speed and distances. Slower groups generally go 20 to 36 miles at a 14-15mph pace, while faster riders opt for longer distances of at least 40 miles at a 16-18 mph pace.

During the normal riding season, Saturday rides feature the official No-Drop ride; however, all groups keep an eye out for newer riders and try to wait at intersections for anyone who is close behind. Look forward to riding with you!

We are no longer using or maintaining the former "marked" routes from Hopewell. We have certain canned routes that the ride leaders may choose or the group can determine where they want to ride. We will put the RWGPS files on the Hopewell calendar soon. "Standard" i.e. frequently used routes include:

1. The 28-mile to Nancy Wright's with a return via Sunshine School and Bethel Church. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803731

2. The 33-mile to Quarters road with a return via Sunshine School and Bethel Church. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803773

3. The 36 mile route to Bowling Green https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803897

4. The 42-mile route to Chilesburg via Bull Church, Cedar Fork and Jericho roads. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48803843
