Cumberland State Forest (Virginia)



In keeping with the trend of a weekend ride to break the monotony of quarantine, I decided to join my friend Whit for a ride to Cumberland State Forest.



He's a great ride leader and extremely familiar with the roads surrounding Cumberland and Buckingham County.



The route we took meandered along either side of Route 60, on as much winding asphalt and gravel roads as possible.







One of our points-of-interest was a suspension bridge we'd hoped to cross. Unfortunately, it had been destroyed - most likely just an eventual result of lack of maintenance.



While there, we tried our luck at following a narrow singletrack trail, but eventually it disappeared into the forest.



Back on the road, we headed toward a piece of property that Whit knew would hold some potential.



Our eventual destination was a piece of property that used to serve as an RV resort. His father is the listing agent for the property, so we had access to its surrounding trails in order to get off the beaten path.













After exploring the property for a while, we emerged onto asphalt and began our way back home.
