Summary:
Great XC trail system. A nice step-up elevation- and technicality-wise from the Raleigh-Durham trail systems. This is an easy half-day trip from the Triangle, and if I had more time, I'd make the trip more often. Trails are very well taken care of, and the SVMBA folks are always up for a ride. Definitely a must-ride destination if you live in NC or Virginia.

Recommended Route:
Follow the red race route. Then ride Witchback. Heck, it's all good.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Warrior Creek, Dark Mountain, Briar Chapel, San Lee.

Greensboro has a good trail system too. You have to ride some rodes and cross some rodes to get to all the trails.Not much climbing,,but a lot of miles can be rode. If it rains, they close the trails.Don't drain very well.

Summary:
These trails are a total gem! You wouldn't know it since they aren't really advertised, but there is almost 25 miles of ripping singletrack, complete with a gravity hill, multiple creek crossings, jumps, twisty singletrack, smooth flow, sapling mazes, rock gardens, and even a dreaded Graveyard hill or two tossed in for good measure.

If you ride it hard, you can get a pretty solid workout from the constant up and down hills. Or you can take it mellow and enjoy a good 3 hours exploring the trail network. Definitely worth multiple repeat visits.

If you break something, downtown Danville is not far away and there are at least two good bike shops in the area.

They host 2 well-run races every year, keep your eyes peeled! I did the Southside Scramble this year and it was a hoot.

Recommended Route:
Red loop, baby!
