Bikes Bands and the Bay

Formerly known as Tour de Chesapeake. This year’s Bike Walk Virginia cycling event experienced an extreme makeover. Well, maybe not terribly extreme, but a makeover just the same. Working on my commercial photographer portfolio, events such as this allow me a varied body of work to pull from.

A slight departure was made from previous years in that a larger ‘festival’ type of event was produced. With multiple bands, catered parties, and many local Mathews, VA businesses pitching in, the cycling event topped itself with the new format. The event showed that it is a very family-oriented weekend with lots of things for everyone to participate in.

The local residents, businesses, and government have always welcomed the cycling community and this year was no different. With warm, sunny weather and beautiful miles of roads taking cyclists along the Chesapeake Bay, the weekend event will certainly remain on the rider’s minds as a ‘must do’.
