Mountain Biking in Virginia

Virginia has it all when it comes to mountain biking: coastal trails that welcome beginners, expert-level mountain trails, black diamond single tracks, kid-friendly trails, and accessible trails for hand cycling. Whether this is your first ride or you’re looking for a trail that will challenge your skills, you’ll find a mountain biking destination suited to you.

In addition to variety, Virginia has become known for their award-winning mountain biking trails, becoming one of just four states to have three IMBA-designated Ride Centers. Virginia's Blue Ridge has earned a Silver Level Status — the only destination on the East Coast to achieve this ranking — and Richmond and Harrisonburg have both been recognized as Bronze Level mountain biking destinations.
