Rented bikes locally in Damascus from Blue Blaze. The ride was beyond our expectations. Rolling countryside through farms was breathtaking. Will return once other half of trail has had repairs completed. Highly recommend!
Just had an amazing ride on the Mendota Trail. The trail is well maintained and the views are amazing. I even had to stop to let a deer cross the trail in front of me. I highly recommend the trail.
My son and I rode this on a drizzly Monday, so pretty much had the entire trail to ourselves. We left a car in Bristol, drove to Mendota and rode one way. If you do that, know the drive will take a while on some narrow backroads. Also be aware that the trail from N to S is a steady climb; even a 3% grade can wear you down after 10 miles. The trail is almost all gravel, and the road crossings are mostly across dirt roads. There’s a stop with water at mile 5.5 heading north, mile 7 heading south.
I rode this trail on an letrick trike XP, on a very warm day with lots of sunshine. Out to mile marker 4 turned around and returned in a downpour. Weather can be fickle in mountains. Loved the trail and the views.
I went down on one of the pre warned slippery bridges Nice offshoot to the capital trail.
I enjoyed the ride. A lot to see and do since trail goes through part of Luray. Good parking areas and friendly people along trail.
Great trail! Day 1 rode a out and back from Fries to Galax 33 miles.
The first section out of Bristol is nice pavement. Then you hit about half mile of chunky rock. After that trail is great. Nice gravel. Lots of trees.
This is a great trail for walking and biking! Great scenic views of the river and wildlife. If you enjoy seeing deer, start at Anglers Park on the early morning. The mostly flat trail is well paved and maintained. If you want hills you can branch off through Dan Daniel Memorial Park, or tackle Stinson Hill which is about 1.3 miles from Anglers Park. The trail is secluded enough to make you forget you’re in the middle of a modern city. Many different trailheads allow walkers/runners to tackle shorter or longer segments as desired.
Absolutely beautiful ride! Loved all the long wooden trestle bridges and the gorgeous views. Trail was in excellent condition. I’ve ridden many trails throughout the USA and this one is definitely top 10. The only bummer was that the other 20 miles of the trail are still closed due to damage from Hurricane Helene. As soon as that section is repaired I’m definitely coming back to ride from White Mountain to Damascus.
This is one of my favorite trails in the area, it's safe and many of the walkers are friendly.
