When it comes to road biking, the secret is out: Rockbridge County is a prime place to pedal! Beautiful mountain scenery is the big draw, but low-traffic roads and bike friendly citizens spin Rockbridge County into the cycling big leagues. Quaint downtowns, bustling with farm-to-table bistros and locally owned shops, break-up the longest rides. Smooth byways and leafy trails climb the Blue Ridge Mountains, roll beside the Maury River, and loop through miles and miles of barn-studded countryside.

RECREATIONAL: I ride on a regular basis for fun, fitness or commuting to work, cruising flat routes at a brisk pace, rolling terrain or reaching the top of a short mountain. I feel comfortable riding in light to moderate traffic. I enjoy stopping for site seeing, snacks or extra activities.
ACTIVE: I ride for activity and fitness, on a regular basis 3 or more times per week for 2 or more hrs. I am comfortable with all terrains, climbs of 3,000 ft. and I can handle my bike safely on descents with speed. I can ride safely in moderate traffic and I enjoy distances of 40+ miles.
ADVANCED: I like a faster pace and the physical training of the ride, averaging 100+ miles per week and I am comfortable riding 60+ miles per day on a multiple day tour. I enjoy mountain passes, big hills, steeps descents. I'm comfortable in heavier traffic and I'm comfortable making bicycle repairs.
