So you heard pisgah has super cool mountain biking… let’s explore it together!

For this ride, I’m tentatively planning to ride at Dupont State Forest (subject to change, but will keep everyone updated). Dupont …

For this ride, I’m tentatively planning to ride in the southern part of Pisgah National Forest near where we’ll be camping …
Howdy y’all. If you haven’t heard of it before, Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina is a pretty sick place! It’s got all the mountain biking, whitewater kayaking, climbing, and hiking your heart could ever desire (and I’m sure some other outdoorsy awesomeness too)! So come with us on a magical journey to this dope area only 6 hours away! …

Hoping to get out for a quick MTB ride between classes because I have an unusual schedule tomorrow. This trip is targeted for people who have done at least two or three rides, and now feel confident on beginner trails. If you’re on the fence about it, feel free to reach out (number can be found by clicking my name). …
Never heard of Massanutten Western Slope? Not to be confused with the bike park, the Massanutten Western Slope trail system is located just outside Harrisonburg and the Shenandoah Valley Bike Coalition maintains top notch mountain bike trails there that are open to the public. Seriously, if you think O’Hill, Ragged, or Preddy are awesome, the Blue Ridge School will blow …
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. We’ll keep it slow and take lots of breaks. The only prerequisite for this trip is the ability to ride a bike. You don’t need to know anything about biking on trails …
What’s good everyone! I’m heading home for the weekend so, to keep up with my one mtb trip a week goal, here’s a Wednesday afternoon ride in some GREAT weather. Let’s hope the weather is a good enough motivator to get people out on a Wednesday afternoon. No prior mountain biking experience is required but you should be comfortable riding …
Word is Siggy might make an appearance and I might cook steaks so get stoked Come join us for a 1.5 day exploration of Carvin’s Cove plus grilling+camping: Carvin’s Cove is a big trail network near Roanoke, filled with challenging climbs and thrilling descents, from rocky, rooty, technical stretches to built-up flow trails. We could write more but all you …
Hello Peeps, As we all have hopefully settled back into the UVA way of life I believe there is no better time to do some mountain biking. Everyone is welcome and I’ll be going over all the basics of biking at the start and as we ride, so have no fear. We will start off easy on a nice beginner …
Does the cold, rainy weather have you feeling sad? Come join us on a cold, sunny day of riding – cardio is a great way to warm up! The plan is to ride two very fun loops of steep climbs and flowing (we’re still in Virginia, so expect some rocks and roots) descents in West Augusta, ~30 minutes past Staunton. …
What’s good everyone! Depending on trail conditions we might have to improvise so keep that in mind. No prior mountain biking experience is required but you should be comfortable riding a bike on the street. We have a tentative route planned out but depending on how everyone’s feeling we can make changes. If you don’t have your own mountain bike …
What’s good everyone, this is my first time leading a beginner MTB trip so there may be a few bumps along the way but I can assure you it’ll be a blast! No prior mountain biking experience is required but you should be comfortable riding a bike on the street. I have a tentative route planned out but depending on …
Pretty routine intermediate trip. We won’t be going over the basics as we would on a beginner trip, but we won’t be doing anything crazy and definitely are happy to share tips. This trip is targeted for people who have done at least two or three rides, and now feel confident on beginner trails. If you’re on the fence about …
I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing break and is ready to get back to school. Before everyone’s schedules get too hectic Owen and I wanted to lead a beginner MTB trip to Ohill. No prior mountain biking experience is required but you should be comfortable riding a bike on the street. We have a general route planned out …
Hello fellow outdoor enjoyers, what’s poppin. There are some nice mountain biking trails in Azalea Park, a park a little past Fry’s spring but close enough to grounds. I’ll be going there this Wednesday in the morning to do a couple loops, and then bike back on the rivanna trail for a bit. I think the trails in Azalea park …
MOAB, UTAH 2023 We’ve got an extra special gift for all of you this last day of class: without a doubt the most legendary adventure of the year. ALL ABOARD THE GNAR TRAIN May we all blossom from this fake wintry East Coast of ours and emerge as sun children in the soft red sands of the Utah desert. There …
If you’ve ever looked at one of Phillip’s 30mi+ backcountry rides and thought “well that looks super sick but probably a bit too much for me”, this trip is for you. I’m planning on taking a group of intermediate-advanced riders to Sherando lake, one of my all-time favorite backcountry MTB areas, and it’s only 40 min away. I’m hoping to …
We bike? We bike. I have a bit of time between major projects being due and I want to bike. We may go to Heyward if people want to or just roll around Ohill. Be aware of the cold temperatures and leaves on the ground as potential hazards that may make this trip harder than the early semester intermediate rides. …

Sup guys, I want to go mountain biking on Ohill. You should come with me IF: -You have completed beginner trip(s) with ease -You are ok with sliding around on some frickin leaves -You are comfortable with (pretty much) every trail on Ohill If you want to drink water you should bring some and a way to carry it (backpack)
Now that I’m all healed up and my teeth are fixed following my tumble during NRGE I’m ready to ride and lead trips again. This will be an intermediate trip so you should have been mountain biking at least 2-3 times. We won’t be going over the basics as we would on a beginner trip but at the same time …

You brought a bike to school thinking you’d commute around grounds in speed and style, but 2 months into the semester, it started making an annoying clicking sound that drove you so mad you stopped riding. Or maybe it got a flat you just never got around to fixing. Or maybe the brakes are wearing just a bit too thin …
Howdy Ever wanted to go on a fairly long weekend MTB ride but not follow Phillip to some far away, wicked chunky technical mudpit? Cool here’s the trip for you. Were gonna try to rip like 15 or so miles of Ohill and the nearby Heyward trails. It will be family friendly fun that most likely won’t leave you biking …
Howdy Note: this trip is specifically for people who have voted early or by mail. Please prioritize voting over our leafy rocky suffery MTB trip. Sherando Lake is a GWNF gem only 45 minutes away. It’s the first place I ever went for a backcountry MTB ride and has some awesome trails. Phillip (the handsome man pictured above) picked out …
***DRIVERS NEEDED*** Shuttle – (verb): to drive to the top of a trail and shred only the downhill*, as opposed to climbing up yourself. Also known as: a roadie’s worst nightmare. *The beauty of a shuttle in the GWNF is that you can still climb those few thousand feet your quads and calves were longing for but ride multiple descents. …
Suit up ladies and gentlemen, we’re getting down and dirty on this fine halloween eve. The plan is to ride ohill’s trails in our swaggiest attire, in order to pay the hill its proper respects. If your costume is breathable, fantastic, but it’s okay if it’s not conducive to mountain biking, few costumes are. Just be aware there’s a slight …

Narrowback mountain was the first mountain biking trip I went on with the club two years ago, and the time has come to show this incredible trail to some more of you fine folks. The route is a 13-mile figure-8 loop with some extended climbing, a few technical rocky spots (that you can totally push), and an awesome descent at …
Hi all, This week I’m back with another MTB trip, but this time testing out a new day / time slot as the sun sets earlier. I might play around with the timing over the next few weeks to see what feels good while still being a good time for people to come enjoy some mountain biking. As always, so …
Hi Everyone, I’m back after the fall break hiatus with another beginner MTB trip. This will definitely be the only beginner trip from me this week (Whose pumped for NRGE?). I took a break with the short week last week but these should be back now weekly until the weather gets too cold (which would have to be pretty cold). …
I needed a reason to get up and do something active before the Saturday festivities so how about a little ohill MTB action? This is an intermediate trip meaning if you’ve been mountain biking at least 2-3 times and feel like you want to try out some trails harder that the beginner ones this will be great. No need to …
It’s not your first time around the block, but you are still looking to build your skills. Sure, you have ridden your bike before, but you truly long to shred the trail. O-hill is calling your name. We’ll be tackling some steep hills and a few technical spots so I wouldn’t recommend this as your first ride. That being said, …
This adventure is a skill-building, bunnyhop-learning clinic for intermediate mountain bikers. To join, you don’t need loads of experience – but at minimum, you should be comfortable riding a bicycle on intermediate trails. What is a bunny hop, you ask? Basically, you hop the bike into the air – first your front wheel, then your back – in order to …
Howdy Thanks to the stupid hurricane cutting my surfing 2 days short, I have to hang out in cville with you losers (especially you Titov). Anyway now that I got my frustration out, looks like it’s gonna rain hard in cville on sat and sun but clear up for mon. Ohill is known to drain very well, so hopefully we’ll …
The New River Gorge Extravaganza is a storied annual pilgrimage to our nations newest national park. While I missed it last year (first year flu took me out), I went to the Gauley fest and can attest the New is a super cool place. The Tea Creek/Slaty Fork area look like they’ve got super cool, classic West Virginia mountain biking: …

It’s that time of year again – fall is in the air, leaves are falling, and it’s time for our annual pilgrimage to the New River Gorge.

Hi Everyone, Max and I are back with another beginner MTB trip, this time on a Wednesday. This will probably be the only beginner trip from me this week (none on Sunday because of Fall break), but I’ll be back next week to wear out your leg muscles. I had a lot of fun with the beginner trip over the …
Hi Everyone, I’m back with yet another beginner trip. This is another small one since a lot of mtb trip leaders have lame responsibilities like this thing called “homework” and “exams”. That being said, I’m still stoked to teach you all and rip some trails. There is also a beginner trip at Creekathon on Saturday as well so I probably …
***DRIVERS NEEDED*** Buried in the heart of GWNF, and by buried I mean it’s like 45 min away, lies one of my favorite trail networks. Surrounding Sherando Lake are 20-30 miles of pristine singletrack that will challenge your riding abilities with steep climbs, tight turns, Virginia rocks, and exhilarating downhills. The plan is to ride up Mill Creek trail, with …
