Biking for a Cure
The Hope, Hams, History and Hospitality Bike Tour
Saturday, April 26th
Three circuits to suit all riders
    12 Mile Family Ride
    Our Family Ride to historic Fort
    Boykin Park, situated high on
    the bluffs of the James River
    about 6 miles west of Smithfield.
    Construction was begun in 1623
    to protect the colonists from
    Indians and raiding Spaniards.
    The fort, built in the shape of a
    seven pointed star, has been in
    every major campaign fought on
    American soil.

    35 Mile Experienced Ride
    In addition to Fort Boykin, our 30
    mile ride features the newest
    attraction in Isle of Wight County
    – Fort Huger, the gateway to the
    Confederate Capital.  View the
    ghost fleet on the James River,
    take the docent-led walking tour
    through the new trails and see
    the cannons mounted along the
    edges of the fort.

    50 Mile Expert Ride
    Those seeking a longer ride
    may combine the tours of the
    two Forts with a loop by Bacon’s
    Castle in nearby Surry County.
    Learn the role played by this
    cruciform shaped house with
    triple chimneys in the 1676
    Bacon’s Rebellion.
