The Battle of North Valley's Hills bike ride in Virginia is reducing its sign-up fees as 50 more bicyclists are needed to register for the inaugural bicycling event over the next two weeks.
Organizers for the fund-raising ride for One Step Closer, a Strasburg-based group that modifies homes for special needs families, admit they got a late start and missed the deadlines for notices and advertising in most cycling publications. If they don't get 30 more registered riders by Friday and a total of 50 by July 13, they'll lose access to some of the rest stops and entertainment for the ride.
The bicycling event is based out of Strasburg in the Shenandoah Valley and runs July 27 – 29. In addition to mountain biking events each day, there is a century and metric century option on Saturday that includes stops at the Battles of Fisher's Hill, Tom's Brook, New Market, Cedar Creek, and Hupp's Hill and Meem's Bottom Covered Bridge, as well as Shenandoah Caverns, Paugh's Orchard, and North Mountain Vineyard.
To encourage more cyclists, organizers have reduced the $65 registration rate to $40 to anyone who registers this year. Those paying the $40 this year can also get a 50% discount off next year's ride.
Rest stops every 15 miles include Route 11 Potato Chips factory, North Mountain Vineyard, Belle Grove Plantation, and Shenandoah Caverns.
