ABOUT THE ORGANIZER
Bedford resident Lee Sandstead fell in love with the roads of Bedford County in 2013 when he first came to ride up to the Peaks of Otter along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Lee continued to ride on these roads until moving to Bedford permanently in 2018 to pursue a career in cycling and endurance coaching.
It wasn't until Lee moved to Bedford permanently that he realized that the key to Bedford's beauty is not in the mountains, but in the valleys.
Since 2018, Lee has brought hundreds of cycling enthusiasts to ride these roads and has ridden over 30,000 miles in the Great Bedford Valley.
It has been Lee's life-long dream to create a cycling event for the South East and Mid-Atlantic, and now that he has his own event team in place, the stars are in alignment.
For Lee and the team, this is a year-after-year, long-term proposition. Something that cyclists can not only participate in, but be proud.
