We just have to get the word out, which is partly what we hope to achieve with VBRA.Ĥ. Thanks to all this support from the local government, the community itself is strong and alive. If you check Roanoke Outside’s event calendar it’s almost overwhelming how many events are going on.
Also, there’s the big Go Outside Festival in October.
#Blue mountain gems roanoke va series
The City of Roanoke’s recreation department puts on a spring MTB mid-week race series (Disco Race) and a summer mid-week CX race series (Summer Cross). I just wish more people knew about it! The city itself maintains all the greenways and in-town bike path infrastructure as well as Mill Mountain trails and all the trails at Carvins Cove Reservoir. The access and support for outdoor infrastructure in Roanoke is better than any place I have lived before. If you could change one thing about the Roanoke Region’s outdoor community, what would it be? So it was more of a build up, not just one great ride that got us here, but almost every ride, spanning the spectrum of mountain biking, gravel, road, and cyclocross. We had been in Winston Salem, NC for the past four years and the change of scenery rolling farmland to proper mountains, and lots of backcountry riding was just what we needed.
It helped cycling feel new and exciting again. That first year in 2020 it seemed like every ride that we were going on and getting a lay of the land was just fire. Was there a specific ride or moment that spurred this idea?
