Overview

This is a ride that follows the Rivanna Trail around Charlottesville in a clockwise direction. It starts from Bodo's Bagels parking lot and follows the trail clockwise. Since it comprises both public and private land, make sure to check the Rivanna Trail Foundation website for the trail status before you set out. This ride is a mashup of single and doubletrack, hard surface, stream crossings, city parks and rooty climbs. There are plenty of convenience stores along the route to refuel. Enjoy it!

Some sections this trail is great, but it's horribly marked and overgrown in a lot of sections, made for an unenjoyable ride for the most part.

Tried riding the section from Avon Street to Monticello Ave - very over grown. Difficult to see terrain/tral. Lots of thorn bushes/downed trees. 4mi — 1h 00m

Considering you can easily ride to this trail from any house in C'ville, this is a great trail! Some cool single track and much more than I expected.
