Where to Ride
Looking to escape your neighborhood to find a new place to ride your bike? The region is home to some stellar options for two-wheeled fun
Deep Run Park
The 2.4-mile singletrack outer-loop dirt trail offers moderate terrain for mountain bikers, and 3.4 miles of paved trails are a great place to ride with kids. The new Deep Run Pump Track offers a short loop of rollers and berms where riders can propel themselves around by shifting their body weight rather than pedaling.
James River Park System
In the heart of the city, along the James River, youâll find everything from the sedate gravel trails at Pony Pasture and Ancarrowâs Landing to the rugged and challenging terrain of the Buttermilk and North Bank trails. The Belle Isle Bike Skills Area is a great place for beginners and kids to practice mountain biking skills before hitting the trails.
