  • About the Boys & Girls Club Cycle Challenge:
    The Challenge is for riders of all levels. At 15, 31, and 62 miles, rides take anywhere from an hour to all day. All rides begin at the Old Trail Village Center in Crozet, Va. alongside BGC kids who will have trained for five months. It’s training that readies them for the ride, but also life. All proceeds from the BGC Cycle Challenge go to the local Boys & Girls Club chapter and to providing the Challenge kids with their bikes, uniforms and other cycling equipment so they can continue on with a life of cycling.
