Come out and enjoy one of the most scenic century rides in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Join cyclists from all over the Mid-Atlantic and beyond as they celebrate the life of Artie Levin or “Mr. Fitness” as he was known throughout the region. If you’re not up for the full century, we’ve added a 50 mile route as well.

This annual event, sponsored by the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club of Virginia, is dedicated to the memory of Artie’s life and his many contributions to the Roanoke Valley and surrounding communities. Artie had a passion for cycling, community service, and family. The BRBC of VA is proud to host this event.

The 2011 Artie Levin Memorial Ride will be staged on a beautiful rolling out and back course starting at Roanoke County’s Walrond Park going to the outskirts of Lexington, Virginia. This course is perfect for those cyclists wanting to ride their first century, capture their personal best time for 100 miles or simply enjoy the majestic beauty of the Southern Shenandoah Valley. The 50 ride follows the same route from Roanoke with a turnaround point in Buchanan.

We hope to see you at the 2011 Artie!
