Summary:
Fun, fun, fun cardio ride. Great place to build and maintain stamina and fitness. Great wet weather riding. When all other trails are not rideable, this trail is. You can get alot done at Bays Mountain. There are lots of fun rolling, quick fire roads with challenging climbs and quick fun descents. Most of the riding is intermediate with little technical riding. Most people find it challenging due to the amount of climbing. There is a nice "single track" called azalea. Firetower is challenging in the climb and the descent. Overall this is a great place to ride in sun, rain, snow or anythingelse mother nature has to dish out.

Recommended Route:
There are many different routes. Maps are available at the entrance to the park. I vary my route depending on how I feel each time I ride. I've yet to find a route I didn't like.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Warriors Path State Park, Buffalo Mountain, Panther Creek

Summary:
I rode the hell out of this place when I lived near there. It has some places where you can fly. I once hit 41 mph. If you go on a weekday you'll pretty much have the whole place to yourself. There are some long climbs, cool views, a couple of technical downhills, and a little bit of flat boring crap to let you know that you are not in heaven. Overall it is a great place to ride. I love singletrack more than anything but this is some of the best dirt road riding you can find anywhere. Good parking too, you don't have to worry about some hick with no teeth busting into your car.

Summary:
Mostly fire roads. Not very technical, but a killer workout. Some really good climbs. I think an earlier reviewer said it best. This is a good place to train and there are some really nice views..

Recommended Route:
Just start riding on one of the fire roads (make sure it is OK for bikes). There are several routes, most people ride the race track. I prefer to start near the maintenace shed.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Warriors, Panther Creek, High Knob (Va).

Summary:
Not single-track, but overall a pretty good workout with some killer climbs. If you can do it in under an hour -- you are race material.

Recommended Route:
Most people follow the race course which is a figure 8. Start at the bottom of the damn and bank right. Make another right at the next intersection (first big hill) Go right again at the bottom of the first downhill. Go left after the maintenance shed. Turn left at the TV towers. Make a sharp left at the bottom of the biggest downhill. This will take you over the flat area a second time and back to the maintenence shed. Total length is 12.5 miles
