The Big Walker Century Ride is a charity bike ride through the country lanes and scenic by-ways of southwest Virginia. Full century (100 miles), metric century (62 miles) and a 40-mile route will be available as well as a quarter century (25 miles) fun ride suitable for all ages. Routes provide multiple crossings by Big Walker Mountain Lookout. Proceeds benefit Helping Overcome Poverty’s Existence, Inc. (HOPE), a human services organization dedicated to improving the overall well-being of individuals and families in our communities.

HOPE is excited to partner with international cyclist Fred Morini for this year’s event. Avid cyclists can join Morini, a former Gerolsteiner professional cyclist, for a six-hour century. Morini will also be conducting a five-day Southwest Virginia training camp the week prior to the Big Walker Century Ride. For more information, visit www.fredmorini.com.
