2026 Tour de Madison

The annual Tour de Madison will be held, rain or shine, on Saturday, May 23.  The tour offers a 65-mile metric century (with 3777 feet of climbing), a 45-mile route (with 2738' of climbing), and a 22-mile family ride.  The registration fee includes rest stops, lunch, SAG support, and a t-shirt (if you register by May 9). 

Register on the TDM website, https://tourdemadison.com.  TDM registration opens Feb. 1.  Registration fee: $50 to 4/4; $65 to 5/22; $75 day of event.  Check-in opens at 7:00am, check-and-go,  at Hoover Ridge Park, 75 Primary School Dr., Madison, VA 22727.  From Madison, drive south on Fairground Road (VA Rte. 687).  Turn left onto Primary School Dr.  In 0.1 mile, turn left onto Hoover Ridge. Continue 0.1 mile to the Park.  The RideWithGPS route is 2024 Tour de Madison Metric Century (65.5).

Travel / accommodations: It is a 2.25- to 2.5-hour drive from Williamsburg to Madison.  If you want to drive the morning of the ride, that’s an awfully early start.  In the past, members have stayed in Culpeper (Microtel & Baymont) the night before the ride, leaving a 20- to 25-minute drive from Culpeper to Madison in the morning.  UVA graduation is 5/16, so lodging may not be quite as difficult this year.

Note:  This is a non-WAB event.  As such, participants are not covered by WAB insurance.  The non-WAB Event Coordinator, if any, is not a ride leader.  He or she is merely facilitating the organization of groups to ride in the non-WAB event.
