Now that the weather seems to be warming up, we can look forward to a lovely spring in Central Virginia. One of the pastimes that everyone enjoys is bike riding on the more than 800 miles of scenic bike trails in Virginia. The Virginia Dept. of Transportation offers a free state bicycling trail map that you can order online, or retrieve as a PDF map file and a PDF bicycling guide.
The trail that goes through Albemarle County is US76, which starts north of Richmond, goes west past Lake Anna in Louisa County, then swings south to Fluvanna County, and then west through Fluvanna and Albemarle Counties. The trail meets the Blue Ridge Parkway at Waynesboro, and follows it for 25 miles before turning into the Shenandoah Valley. In spring, this trail is beautiful! (And for those of us not up to biking across several counties, most of the trail follows paved roads accessible to automobiles.)
Enjoy!
