The 2011 Tour kicked off with a 30-mile, one-day Ride for Research presented by Mid-Atlantic Stihl in Virginia Beach, then headed west to Williamsburg, Richmond, Charlottesville and the Appalachians. Seven days and 500 miles later the Tour concluded with a triumphant entrance into Washington DC. This week of cycling, spectacular autumn scenery, public outreach and fun supported tree research and education programs.
