Campers ride in the morning, have a midday activity like tubing or snorkeling on the James River, then get back on the bikes in the afternoon. Campers are placed in groups from beginner to advanced intermediate, so they are riding with campers of the same ability. Virginia Outside provides bikes and helmets, but campers are welcome to bring their own.
