Cycling in the Roanoke Valley

Cycling

BikingWhat's your preference, fat tire adventure on rugged trails or cruising on your road bike along scenic byways? The Roanoke Valley has abundant choices for all cyclists. Challenging terrain awaits at Carvin's Cove — nationally known among mountain bikers and featured on Resort Sports Network — and elsewhere in the beautiful mountains surrounding the Roanoke Valley. The Blue Ridge Parkway and many other scenic backroads are the stuff that road cyclists' dreams are made of. Looking for something in between? Perhaps a short, but scenic ride suitable for every member of the family? The Roanoke Valley has an extensive network of greenways. Pedal power is a great way to get around the Valley.
