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 …
**PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AS THIS IS NOT A STANDARD INTERMEDIATE OHILL RIDE** If you stalk the website like me, I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of people mountain biking in their Halloween costumes and know how sick those pictures are, especially the one of Alan in a pink bunny costume midjump. Somehow the stars aligned and Alan and …
Bryson and I led this same trip last week and it was an absolute blast. Dare I say it’s our favorite loop in Charlottesville? These trails are definitely intermediate so you should be more than comfortable on beginner trips and maybe even done an intermediate Ohill trip or two. That being said, WE WANT YOU ON THESE TRIPS! Don’t feel …
U wanna learn 2 bike????? Now is the time. The leaves are pretty and getting just ever so slippery. Come enjoy it while it lasts. This will be a normal ‘ol beginner mountain biking trip geared towards people with little to no experience riding a bike on trails (those with no experience will be given priority). Our plan is to …
I’m feeling a local ride tomorrow and am down to do whatever area people want. Options include Heyward/foxhaven, biscuit run, or Ohill. Let me know in the comments if there’s anything you want to ride. This will be an intermediate trip, so I won’t be going over the basics as I would on a beginner trip, but we won’t be …
HELLO beginner mountain bikers! Come join me and Jade this Friday for a beginner mountain biking ride at Ohill! This trip is an affinity trip for women, femme, trans and nonbinary members (so please only sign up if you identify as part of this group!). Mountain biking is such a male dominated sport, both in our club and in general, …

It’s so nice out today. TOO NICE OUT TO NOT GO SUPPING!! I’m posting this so crazy last minute because I did not realize it would be such a perfect day to get out and float. If you’re feeling spontaneous, sun-bathey, and ravenous for a paddle come meet me at the shrack at 3 pm!! Also the fall colors are …
Not really sure where I want to ride tomorrow but Lucy has some grippy new tires and I want to get out. Options include Heyward/foxhaven, biscuit run, or Ohill (slightly biased against this cause I’m taking people on ohill Weds). Let me know in the comments if there’s anything you want to ride! This will be an intermediate trip, so …
Just a routine Max^2 INT mountain bike trip on ohill. This trip is for people who have done at least two or three rides, and now feel confident on beginner trails. If you are unsure about coming on this trip feel free to text me (my number can be found by clicking on my profile). If you don’t have your …
Oh my!!!! Another mountain biking trip!!!! If you’ve never rode the Rivanna, it is pretty epic and awesome and sweet and I’d love to give you an introduction to it. I’m hoping to ride up OHill, take a fun downhill trail to the Rivanna and ride it to Barracks. It won’t be a super crazy trip but I also don’t …
Man, 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 after some prompting from my trusty co-leader Mas S. I’ve heard amazing things …

Max S opened our eyes to some AMAZING trails near Foxhaven/Heyward and so Bryson and I want to ride them again with a bit more intensity since we now know what they look like. These trails are definitely intermediate so you should be more than comfortable on beginner trips and maybe even done an intermediate Ohill trip or two. That …
Shay introduced me to Biscuit Run this semester, and I’ve realized that there’s a lot of potentially cool riding back there. And it’s pretty easily rideable from the Shrack. I’m not set on it, but I’d be interested in taking this trip back there. Or just Ohill if that’s what people are feeling. This will be an intermediate trip, so …
To clarify again, no, we are not spreading an actual bug but rather just the love of mountain biking! This weekend I rode at my first bike park and boy did it not disappoint! The love for biking only continues to grow so Tiffany and I have teamed up to take more of you all out on a ride. You …

If you want to be or are a nature poet, join us this Thursday evening. Jade and I will wander over O’Hill starting at Slaughter and …
It pained me to wake up and see 17 people on the waitlist for a mountain biking trip, here’s to the MTB blues. This will be a beginner mountain biking trip geared towards people with little to no experience riding a bike on trails (those with no experience will be given priority). Our plan is to ride around and familiarize …
Let me get two things out of the way first. Yes, that’s a picture of us cleaning our chicken with non-potable water this past weekend. No, there’s no actual bug I’ll be spreading. Rather, I’m looking to spread the love of mountain biking to absolute beginners (hence the beginner-beginner in the title). This trip is prompted by the absolutely incredible …
Do you like freedom?? Have you ever thought about how magical it would feel to bike into the woods, rip down the trails and explore the beauties of our mountains all while knowing everything you need to sustain your living is strapped to the bike you’re riding?? We introduce to you: the art of bikepacking. This will be a two-day …

HELLO! This is a special trip. I very timidly mountain biked for the first time on a beginner ohill trip a year ago today. In celebration, I’d love to give others an introduction to the sport that I’ve become obsessed with! I plan to take you on the same trails I was taken upon and bestow all the knowledge I …
let’s try AGAIN to do a routine ohill trip! this is an intermediate trip so you should have some experience, but by no means will we be doing The Hardest Trails Ever! So know that YOU ARE CAPABLE, and we want you there <3. I expect to do trails like reactor, long down hill, maybe slide/spider, waterspout? and anything else …
Hello hello hellooooooo my fellow queer shredders (or shredders to be!) My thursdays are wide open, and as I will be spending fall break in the big apple far far away from my favorite bike trails, I wanna hit them one last time before I leave. As you may have noticed I love leading mountainbiking affinity trips, and this time …

Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina is an East Coast outdoors gem, with world class biking, white water, hiking, and more. The leaves should be turning, so we’ll have incredible fall scenery as a backdrop for our weekend of camping. And, it’s under 6 hours from Cville, making it super feasible for Fall break. So, we are planning on taking …

HELLO AGAIN MOUNTAIN BIKERS!!!! The last time I tried going to BRS it got rained out so this is take two. If you aren’t aware, the Blue Ridge School is just outside of Charlottesville and has some super sick looking trails that I’ve wanted to ride for a good long time now. If you happen to not have Friday classes …

I spy a perfect little route up on Ohill that is great for beginners getting into the sport, or folks who have tips and tricks to share with friends. We will take the pace nice and slow, …
oooooooh yoooooooohooooooooo! max and I are running back our slightly foiled attempts at a biscuit run trip. promises to include actual mountain biking this trip as we will be hopefully driving there xoxo This is an 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 …
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, …
An animal howls off in the distance, the pines whisper to each other, and the smell of fire smoke fills your nostrils as you gaze up into the vast starry sky. To be alone with the world for a moment is all you need and everything you’ve been missing. Let’s go spend some time away from our beloved Cville hustle …
First of all, yes I know its an amazing title. Second, why not spend a Saturday night out paddle-boarding on the water with your pals to watch the sunset??? The plan is to get the sups packed up, head over to the Ragged Mountain Reservoir, and paddle around for about an hour before drying off, packing up, and returning before …
Pretty routine cville ride, just wanna go rip around the local trails. This is an adv trip so you should be comfortable on a bike and ready to ride some harder trails, although there won’t be any need to hit mandatory drops, gaps, or other scary features. If you’re on the fence about it, feel free to reach out. If …
Of all the riding that I’ve done in the local cville area, I’ve never ridden at Biscuit run. Luckily, Shay is somewhat of an expert and will give us a tour of the area. This is an 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 …
THIS IS COMPLEMENTARY TO THE GAULEY FEST MAIN TRIP YOU WILL NOT GET OFF UNLESS YOU ARE ON THE WAITLIST FOR BOTH On the way to the epic epic Gauley Fest we plan on making a stop at one of Virginia’s premier mountain biking destinations: Douthat State Park. Filled with challenging climbs and exhilarating descents, Douthat is sure to please …
This trip is not a concrete plan or itinerary, but rather looking to see if anyone else wants to do a full-day ride this weekend. I’m pretty flexible on most details. I’d probably rather ride on Saturday but could do Sunday too (would just need to be back a bit earlier). In terms of location, I have some potential routes …
My apologies for posting this with such short notice, I didn’t think I’d be able to bike at all and then a prof canceled a meeting. So hell yeah more biking less school. Also another Ohill bike trip will be out at the same time so this trip will be fairly limited by available bikes. Pretty routine intermediate trip. I …
Hey goons! Are any of you interested in water, or camping, or music, or festivals, or being outside!?!?! JK I know some (most? (all??)) of you are interested in at least one of those things. This is going to be a dope and unique weekend trip that ranges for beginners (beginners to just being outside even– you don’t have to …
Solo leading?!?!? Lots of my friends are busy with other trips and whatnot, so since there’s a lack of beginner trips this week (besides Bryons & Gabe’s the day before this one) here’s another one! WE WANT YOU ON THESE TRIPS! Don’t feel intimidated if you might need to hike a bike (we all do at times). That being said, …

This is targeted towards people who have been on one or two beginner trips and really enjoyed it, who want to learn and try more but may not feel comfortable signing up for an intermediate trip yet. We will take you on some slightly …
Tuesday afternoon… you have school to do and probably other things as well.. But what if… What if you hopped on a paddle board and floated around ragged?? I’m going to try to let people off the waitlist who have never been on a trip before, so if you’re a new member– WELCOME! Come join me as I leave my …
