The WAB jersey design (pictured below) is inspired by a jersey WAB developed back nearly 20 years ago as part of the 300th anniversary of Williamsburg.  This jersey is manufactured by Hincapie and the sales and distribution of the jersey are done directly through the Hincapie website.  In addition to the jersey, shorts, bib shorts and vests are available to purchase.

The WAB Storefront is now open and will close at midnight on April 29, 2022.  

NOTE: we have extended the store opening until Friday, May 6th - LAST CALL!

NOTE:  For those of you not familiar with the Hincapie line - there are two different jersey collections we have available.  The "Velocity" collection is classified as Race/Club fit on their website but most of our members would agree it is more of a race cut and tighter fitting.  The "Axis" collection is classed as Club/Race (note they are reversed) and is definitely a more loose cut.   To simplify it might be best to just consider Velocity the Race cut and Axis the Club cut.

The Williamsburg Area Bicyclists sponsors club rides where members and visitors come together and ride a designated “route” in the Williamsburg area.  These rides are classified by difficulty (both pace and distance).  Ride leaders provide the routes in the form of “cue sheets” and strive to facilitate safe and enjoyable experiences for all participants.

* * * UPDATED 5-19-21 * * *

All Rides:

  • No specific limit, however Ride Leaders are encouraged to break large groups into manageable separate groups.
  • All participants are requested to pre-register by using the "Book this Event" link on the website calendar

For all rides, we ask that participants follow the governmental guidelines:

  • If you are in the 10-day quarantine and masking period due to having recently had or been exposed to COVID-19 or Delta or Omicron or any other variant, do not come on a group ride.
  • Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting.
  • Those not fully vaccinated are requested to follow current CDC guidance.

Of course, other "common sense" guidelines also apply:

  • If you are not feeling well or running a fever, do NOT come on a group ride
  • If you must spit, sneeze or otherwise expectorate while on a ride, move to the back of the group (or otherwise distance yourself)

If you are not currently a member and would like to join our rides, we would love to have you!  Click on the "Join or Renew" button to see the membership options and prices.  You can pay on-line via Paypal or Credit Card.
