Just a few short years ago there was only a handful of mountain bikers in Martinsville Henry County but now after a couple of years of hard work there is an active and growing mountain bike population with dozens of mountain bikers blazing the trails each week.
When Mountain Laurel Trails was started, even though we hoped this might happen we had no idea there would be this much interest and getting out in the woods riding would be so contagious. We currently have 30 to 50 riders on the trails each week many traveling from as far away as Florida.
With about 8 miles of trails done and plans for plenty more and we are excited to see interest in mountain biking continue to grow and grow. Mountain laurel Trails was recently voted #1 in Virginia out of 237 trails on Single Tracks something we are very proud of. We have weekly rides including beginners rides as well as trail running.
If your interested in Mountain Biking, would like to help work on the trails, donate money or anything else please contact Bob Norris @ 276-340-9144 Or Matt Huckfeldt @ The Chain Of Fools Bicycle shop in Martinsville.
