The Bedford Area Welcome Center opened on October 29, 2004, and was referred to as the flagship for future Visitor Centers throughout the Commonwealth. It received the American Crown Community Award presented by American City and County Magazine – the judges had never before seen a visitor center that was also designed to serve the community. It was the first visitor center to ever make the list!
Today we continue to serve this community – its residents, businesses, and visitors to the area. Stop by and learn more about Destination Bedford, enjoy live music, giveaways, free apples, cider tasting, and Waffle Mania food truck will have food for purchase.

All skill levels welcome. This is about learning and fun.
All wheel sizes welcome.
“Sessioning is the best way to enhance biking skills because if there’s something you can’t overcome on the trail, no amount of deadlifts, time on the indoor trainer, or backyard simulations will increase your capacity better than trialing the real thing.
Practice makes perfect.”
