Where: Lyndhurst, Virginia, George Washington National Forest.
What: Lots of big climbs and expert trails. Test your lungs on the infamous switchbacks at Sherando. Word to the wise: find an experienced guide, or at last check out this map by the Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club. It’s easy to get lost.
Bike the Valley’s featured ride is the Sherando Lake Advanced Loop, mapped and reviewed on MTB project.
