ABOUT THE TRANSVIRGINIA BIKE ROUTE
Ride from DC to Damascus, VA in 550 miles of mostly (60%) unpaved country and forest roads, double track and rail trails (18%). Traverse Virginia’s best backcountry riding on this new gravel bikepacking and touring route focused on rideable, non-technical, unpaved terrain intended for multi-day trips carrying overnight gear.

Why ride the TransVA?
The concept of the route was homegrown in the Harrisonburg, VA bike community, in the  Shenandoah Valley, which has been transforming the valley into a cycling destination for all types of riders. The route is inspired by the many miles of dirt and gravel roads in the National Forests and beautiful countryside of the Shenandoah Valley.

The route aims to be an accessible travel experience for motivated cyclists in the style of the Great Divide Route, filling a unique space between pavement-only road touring and technical singletrack trail bikepacking. The TransVirginia is poised to become an iconic East Coast gravel bikepacking adventure. Logistics are straightforward with plenty of water, country stores, camping options, as well as hotel/B&B options for those who prefer to ride more comfortably. There’s plenty of elevation change, but reasonable grades are rideable with multi-day gear.
