6.8 mi Out-and-back 233 ft gain

The Blue Ridge Railway Trail is a rail trail in Virginia.

Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • 29 mph wind — strong — plan for slow outbound if wind is against you.
