Sujith has declared the time has finally come for him to brave the so-called “seven switchbacks from hell.” And I think I’m ready to brave another mud-fest, ideally not equipped with a borrowed pair of white Lulu shorts (sorry Sujith). So if your legs are ready for a great climb and your washing machine is ready for a great quantity …
There’s something about taking already leaf-covered singletrack and throwing in snow and ice; it’s quite the interesting slidey experience. So before the rain probably wipes out the rest of the snow later this week, join Sujith and I for some slidely ohill action. And it’ll be 50 degrees, basically no reason not to come. This will be an intermediate trip, …

Woah new trip difficulty just dropped? We added INT/ADV for intermediate riders who wanted to take on bigger routes with some potentially harder features, but didn’t quite have advanced technical riding skills. This is a similar idea. I’m looking for beginner riders that have been for a few rides and are ready to try something longer and a bit trickier …
Somehow Max and I, with all the riding we’ve done this semester, are yet to have hit two of our favorite descents in the GWNF. Both descents come off of Reddish Knob, a road-accessible 4400’ summit on the WV border that offers some of the best mountain biking on the East Coast. Because of the size of this ride and …
*This is not your standard intermediate Charlottesville trip so please read the description in its entirety* Between the fact that this ride was super fun last time and that the INCREDIBLE riding this past weekend made me want to bring more people out, Bryson and I are leading this amazing trip again!

Titov said he’ll be celebrating finishing his fun 3 exam and I’m now continuously celebrating the fact that the club owns a bike that fits me so stoke should be high. Going for a pretty routine cville ride, just wanna rip around the local trails. This is an adv trip so you should be comfortable on a bike and ready …
Ohill has a great range of trails – I have a good beginner loop picked out and depending on people’s comfort levels, we could try some easier intermediates. I’m also interested in trying some of the easier Rivanna sections by the research park. We’ll keep it slow and take lots of breaks. The only prerequisite for this trip is the …
Are you hoping to ride some new trails in the Roanoke/Blacksburg area? Are you stoked to “camp” in Sujith’s basement and Haley’s backyard?

Time to give this another try. I have wanted to ride BRS since Phillip’s post way back in May, but whether it was due to scheduling conflicts or weather conditions, I never got around to it. So here I am, taking matters into my own hands, leading my first “big boy” trip under the supervision and guidance of the legendary …
Come celebrate my 22nd birthday with me by mountain biking 22 (ish) miles on Charlottesville’s Rivanna Trail. The Rivanna Trail is a loop around Charlottesville that has a little bit of everything. It’s just about 22 miles with ONLY ~1000 ft of elevation gain. It has single and double track, some rooty climbs, some stream crossings, and even some riding …
*This is not your standard intermediate Charlottesville trip so please read the description in its entirety* Exactly a week ago (on our trip), Bryson and I came up with the idea for this trip and are super excited about it.

HELLO MOUNTAIN BIKERS. I didn’t ride at Sherando after NRGE last weekend so tomorrow is my redemption. If you’ve not heard of it before, Sherando Lake is about 45 minutes away in our beautiful George Washington National Forest. Surrounding the lake are miles of awesome singletrack that I’ve wanted to ride for quite some time now. These trails will fulfill …
This trail has been teasing me for a while. Early in the semester, I went out for a big ride that planned to include the climb up Little Bald Knob and the Chestnut ridge descent. But, we had to turn around because of thunderstorms, and instead got a sad wet descent down the climb trail. Just a few weeks ago …
