Based in Loudoun Heights, Virginia, Senior Cycling offers 2- to 10-day programs through the United States, as well as day trips in the Washington region. “We’re not concerned with how far and how fast,” said Pat Blackmon, who founded the company three years ago. “We’ve done that. Now we’re concerned with enjoying ourselves.” A two-day tour of the Northern Neck of Virginia ($215, April 20-21) is suitable for beginners, while a weeklong intermediate-level trip along the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany ($1,260, May 16 to 22 and Sept. 27 to Oct. 3) involves about 55 miles of pedaling each day. Bike rental is extra. (540) 668-6307; www.seniorcycling.com. Age minimum, 50.
