Mathews County – A Great Place to Ride
- The hospitable citizens have always welcomed cyclists to explore their special paradise.
- How about a tasty rider’s lunch at Williams Wharf, an historic landing on the East River.
- After lunch hike the Nature Conservancy’s natural areas along the Chesapeake Bay. See the historical lighthouse which has long been part of Mathew ’s culture.
- Cross the bridge to Gwynn’s Island, the final stronghold of the Royal Governor, Lord Dunmore, during the Revolutionary War. Stop by and visit the island’s museum.
- Strawberry shortcake social – join us to wind down after the ride for dessert.
The Tour de Chesapeake X is a one day fully supported event on Saturday, but there is plenty of biking for two days if you wanted to explore Gwynn’s Island or Mobjack on your own Sunday. Consider bringing your canoe or kayak for a pedal/paddle weekend.
