Nice paved ride that takes you into Driver. Couldn't believe we saw Jim equipment 3 miles in that had kettle bells, a bike and an elliptical plus other stuff. 4.5 miles there is a bike station for air, tools to fix your bike.
I found it a bit squishy and bumpy for a hybrid. But just fine for a mountain bike.
This paved trail is a very nice side trail off the Capital Trail. One of the history markers near Mile 1 of the Capital Trail mentions the Church on the Main. You can see this moving site via this trail, about 1/2 way in. The trail end near the school trends uphill, but not too bad and it's heavily wooded. This is great for a few extra miles.
A nice 7.2 mile round-trip, paved, shady trail with very friendly people. Could probably use more parking, but we rode our bikes during the week and there were plenty of spaces available. The tree roots are tearing up the asphalt a bit (making for a bumpy ride). The trail was very clean with no garbage; it's obvious there are people who take care of it.
We did this trail 7.26.25. It is not maintained and is only suitable for mountain bikes. Rocks, roots, overhanging branches (some with thorns) and dangerous downhills with sharp turns at the bottom. Add to that sewage plant smells, insects and little signage. Look elsewhere.
Most of this trail is shaded which made for a pleasant ride.
Did the northeast section, Suburban to Nansemond. Have walked it before, but this was the first time biking. A nice, easy, flat, paved trail with plenty of shade. The only problem is the parking. Only a few slots and all but one very skinny one was available.
On March 12, 2025, my wife and I cycled on the ERT. On red gate Avenue under the tall evergreens, her tire was caught in a deep tree route and threw her to the left side. A half hour later she was at the Centra emergency room where she was diagnosed with three broken ribs, hematoma, and her left side a gash to the right knee and multiple bruises. We hope that the officials and trail advocates in Norfolk will take notice ; please post a warning, paint, the dangerous ridges and make plans to repair the section of the trail. A large bush blocked our view until we were right on these obstacles as we headed toward the hay. This was a very traumatic experience. To
Great ride. Wish the trail had more bathrooms along the trail
Once you get away from the noise of 64 the trail is very quiet and nice. I enjoyed this nature trail
This is a very lovely trail with some elevation gain and loss, but very quiet and remote. The key is do not ride this trail if there has been any substantial moisture! We rode this trail when there was snow and ice on the trail as well as melt water and the trail was like riding through quicksand. Very difficult! Maybe during the summertime when it’s dry it would be lovely but not today. Riding on the snow and ice was also treacherous as there were packed down frozen tracks from a truck that uses the path for maintenance and access to surrounding areas.
