Event Headquarters

        The Best Western Leesburg Hotel and Conference Center,
726 E Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia, is the Cirque du Cyclisme "Event Headquarters", combining hotel facilities with "social" areas and event space.

      This Hotel-Conference Center is a AAA 2-Diamond rated hotel. It has 99 rooms and a large conference room that can accommodate about 150 people seated. Most sleeping rooms are non-smoking. All singles have king beds, all doubles have two queen beds, with a break-down as follows:

Non-smoking = 51 doubles and 25 singles
Smoking = 17 doubles and 3 singles
Doubles have a max occupancy of 4 people
(There are a few "business suites" that are not reflected here)

       A very nice full country breakfast buffet is included in the cost of the room, and is served in a separate 55-seat dining room which is a nice gathering and social area.

      Adjacent to the dining room is a large outdoor patio area with several tables (with chairs and umbrellas) that's available at all times. The dining room is only available in the mornings. There is also a swimming pool and a large grassy area next to the patio, all on the back side of the hotel.

      Free transport to and from Dulles airport is also included in the room cost. This needs to be coordinated in advance with the hotel, but may eliminate the need to rent a car for some attendees. Broadband internet access is also included at no additional cost.

    Special rates are offered for the Cirque weekend, please inquire when you make your reservations.

    The Best Western lends itself well to the social atmosphere so attractive in past Cirque events. And it has the added benefit of being large enough to house us all, so everyone can be at the central "hot spot" of activity.

    The conference rooms will be available for Cirque use for the full three main event days (Fri- Sun), so there is some flexibility for uses other than the traditional sessions. Having all this in a centralized location allows more flexibility in how the  various aspects of the overall event can be organized and scheduled.

     As an added benefit, the BW has offered it's shuttle bus at no charge to transport small groups to other local destinations. This gives attendees the option of other outings (winery tours, for instance) for small groups or family members that might not be full participants in Cirque events.

      This venue provides a cohesive, interactive environment for the event and participants. There's lots of room to congregate and display and play with bikes. Attendees will enjoy a more club-like atmosphere that all can share in.
