Heart of the Chesapeake

Join us for the Pauline F. & W. David Robbins Family YMCA's Heart of the Chesapeake Bike Tour on Saturday, July 23rd, 2022. The bike tour includes three options. You choose from the Metric Century (66 miles), Half Century (52 miles), Ragged Point Ride (32 miles). 

The Heart of the Chesapeake Bike Tour is in memory of Bob Brannock, a member of the Y since its opening in 1985. Upon Bob’s retirement in 2005, after his Parkinson's diagnosis, the Y became his second home. Not only did he use the facilities to help with his Parkinson's he also became our "Bob the Builder." He worked on everything from leaky roofs to full on renovations. There wasn't a room that Bob didn't touch. He continued to work at the Y until his death in July of 2014. Without the Y, Bob wouldn't have been able to follow his doctor's order of just 'Keep Moving!"  Bob's legacy will continue at the Y.

Funds raised will go towards supporting the Robbins Family YMCA to ensure everyone, regardless of age, income or background has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

The Metric Century, Half Century and Ragged Point Ride all include a t-shirt in your registration fee. 

Day of registration will be available at the Pauline F. & W. David Robbins Family YMCA. This is a RAIN OR SHINE event and no refunds will be given. 

There will be plenty of rest stops along the way with snacks and drinks. SAG vehicles will be monitoring the course until 1PM.
