Happy St. Patrick’s day! What better way to combat the weekend-long hangover with some chill beginner biking and fresh air! Ohill has a great range of trails – We 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 …

Bev Ride Mtn Biking with Club Cycling!!!!! What better way to kick off st patty’s day weekend than with a club cycling Bev ride mixer?? Our friends in the cycling club do something called a Bev ride every Friday evening. This is where they hop on their mountain bikes and ride around ohill and have stops where they drink “beverages” …
Can’t drive the bikes across the country without making sure they work first, right? This will be an intermediate trip, so 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 am happy to share tips. This trip is targeted for people who have done at least …

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 …
Do you want to go on trips WHENEVER you want!?!?! Do you want to spread the LOVE of trips by leading your own!?!?! Do you want your dues REIMBURSED!?!?! Do you want more ENTRIES to the fabled spring break Moab trip!?!?! If your answer is YES to any of these questions, this trip is for you! This Thursday, Anusha, Mitch, …
Sure I’ve biked at Heyward a couple of times but until last week I’d never truly BIKED at Heyward. Max^2 took me on an amazing tour of all the INCREDIBLE trails Heyward has to offer, plenty of which are new. Showing me all these trails opened a whole new world of local riding to me and we want to do …
Shortish notice trip but since it’s no longer raining for 4 days straight, Ohill should be dry enough to ride by Wednesday so come bike with us. Especially if you’re going to have a lonely Valentine’s Day like me (I can’t speak for Max). This will be an intermediate trip, so we won’t be going over the basics as we …
oh em gee. this weather has been TOOOO GOOD! only solution: bikes. wow and you don’t have class thursday afternoon!?!?! ugh. best news ever. 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 …
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 …
Have you been interested in trying out a backcountry MTB ride but not sure which one’s right for you? This is it! Narrowback has super friendly, flowy fun riding with forgiving climbs. We are planning to ride 11mi with 1300′ climbing, and take an easy pace. You’ll get two great descents and a great intro taste of the Stokesville area …
Sorta last minute post but was expecting tomorrow to be a rain out but the morning actually looks great. Come bike. This will be an intermediate trip, so 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 am happy to share tips. This trip is targeted …
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, …
AHHHH winter break is over :/ AHHHH time to go bike again!!!!! 🙂 Lets go ride some Ohill trails this Friday!!! 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 …
Hellooo you fellow scavengers and schemers!!! Cam and I are PUMPED for this Saturday’s bonfire / potluck / camp-out / dumpster-nature-inspired-exchanging-of-love, and we wanna make our elephants as stinky as possible. In other words, we wanna make some fun nature-themed crafts to bring to our gift exchange and would love for you to join, regardless of whether you can make …
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! The facts are simple, backcountry mountain biking isn’t …
No, im sorry, this is NOT a BBQ on Ohill. However, It is BETTER than a BBQ on Ohill. WERE BIKING on Ohill!!!!!!! Come join Adam and I for a two wheeled romp on the trails this friday afternoon in the beautiful fall foliage. It has been some time since there has been a queer bike affinity trip, so I …
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? Do you want to rip a descent that Sujith has been chased down by a bear? If so, this might be the trip for you. We are planning on driving out to Blacksburg on Friday to get …
What better way to end the week than with mountain biking?? This Friday, Susannah and I are leading an intermediate WTF mountain biking trip on the Ohill Trails! This trip is for people who have done at least two or three rides and now feel confident on beginner trails. We will be riding the more intermediate trails on ohill, but …
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. The facts are simple, backcountry mountain biking isn’t the most accessible thing out there. Whether it’s the lack of immediate …
CALLING ALL BEGINNER MOUNTAIN BIKERS!!! Max and I are co-leading a chill beginner mountain bike trip on the ohill trails this THURSDAY! Here is the plan: we will meet at the shred shack (116 Washington Ave) at 5, get bikes passed out and set up, and then head up to ohill around 5:15. We’ll ride for about an hour and …
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 …

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 …

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 …

Our plan is to ride around and familiarize …
