Currently we have several needs:

  • Publicity - post updates to Facebook sharing WAB activities and ride reports.  
  • New Member Welcoming - as first time members join WAB, reach out to them help them understand what rides are offered and how they may become involved
  • Route Book Coordination - mail route books in response to on-line web orders.  Work with the bike shops to replenish their stock of books.
  • Advertising - solicit advertising from our sponsors.

To find out more about these opening, contact any board member.  In 2021, Andy Ballentine has handled Publicity and New Member Welcoming and Fran Wenbert has handled Route Book and Advertising.

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.

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 14-day quarantine period due to possible exposure to COVID-19, 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.
