Blackwater Falls State Park (West VA)

For our final ride in the Canaan Valley, Rebecca and I decided to explore Blackwater Falls State Park. I was able to find a figure-eight loop on mtbProject which totalled about 6 miles. It was the perfect length for a quick ride on our way out of town.

Thomas (West Virginia)

After our first trip to the Canaan Valley area of West Virginia, Rebecca and I vowed to return to stay in Thomas. Since its inception as a mining town, the city has transformed into a progressive art hub within the mountains of West Virginia.

We decided to explore the local city trails on our first morning there, choosing the short three-mile loop as a fitting circuit to let the dogs roam before continuing to the main attraction - the Moon Hoodoo Rocks trail in nearby Davis, WV.

Jamestown Moto Ride (Virginia)

A group of four of us set off from Richmond on Sunday around noon, heading east toward Jamestown on a meandering route with offshoots to either side of Route 5.

When we reached Charles City Courthouse, two of our friends doubled-back to town and Lory and I continued toward the destination, stopping at Jamestown Pie Company for lunch.

Our final destination was the marshy loop around Jamestown Island. Lory had never seen it, so I wanted to show him the uncanny resemblance it had to the Everglades.

Leakes Mill (Goochland, VA)

Rebecca and I dicovered a new riding spot this weekend a mere 45 minute drive from our house. It was tight series of singletrack among pine trees, with some newly-constructed bridges and features. This will certainly be the first of many trips to the park, as we left at least two trail sections unridden.

Crabtree Falls (Virginia)

Rebecca and I were looking for an escape from the city without too much time on the highway, so we opted to try to find a campsite near Crabtree Falls. At first, it seemed we were not going to have any luck, due to the busy Labor Day weekend. Eventually, though, we found a spot to spread out and enjoy one night in the woods.

East End XC (Richmond, VA)

It's easy to take for granted the trails I've got literally out my door. Richmond has a great outdoor community, with trails being built that zig-zag throughout the downtown area wherever there lies even a small patch of woods. Consider this video "part one" as I'll produce another sometime soon which will continue westward to the Buttermilk and North Bank trails.
