April 13, 2021 Board Matter: Inaugural Tour de Hunter Mill

Background:

Mr. Chairman, the Hunter Mill District is home to many scenic trails and roadways that are popular with our residents who enjoy riding bikes. Having these public resources has been a tremendous asset during the pandemic, enabling residents to enjoy fresh air and exercise close to home. To showcase and celebrate these resources and our community, and to highlight the potential for the bicycle to become a primary mobility option, I am announcing the inaugural Tour de Hunter Mill on Saturday, May 15. Based on the success of the Tour de Mount Vernon over the last several years, I am excited to start this new tradition in Hunter Mill District.

The event begins at the Reston Community Center at Hunters Woods and takes cyclists through the Hunter Mill District on scenic routes. The long route goes from Reston to Vienna and loops back via the roads and trails or via a Metro option from the Spring Hill Station. The family route stays within Reston and mostly on paved Reston Association paths. This is an exciting and fun opportunity for our community to come together and enjoy a fun event while also being able to have social distancing and other public health precautions in place.

Events like this are not possible without strong community support and I would like to thank these partners for helping us launch this inaugural Tour de Hunter Mill:

  • Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling
  • Reston Community Center
  • Reston Association
  • Public Art Reston
  • Town of Vienna
  • Tysons Partnership
  • Reston Bike Club
  • Fairfax County Police Department

Motion:

Therefore, Mr. Chairman I request that the Office of Public Affairs promote the 2021 Tour de Hunter Mill through the county’s communications platforms. Information on Tour de Hunter Mill can be found online at fairfaxcounty.gov, search Tour de Hunter Mill.
