South Hill, Virginia, is a small town in Mecklenburg County, situated in the heart of the Virginia countryside. It’s known for its small-town friendliness. I found this country store oasis in the middle of nowhere; Maggie and her daughter make a mean mustard and ham sandwich. Found a few roadside snakes and dinosaurs on my way into Durham NC. 80.49 mi 3,018 ft cancersoloride.com #PMC2025
I visited the Tobacco Heritage Trail today. This 160-mile rail trail in Southside, Virginia, is incredibly fun to ride. The trail connects the counties of Brunswick, Charlotte, Halifax, and Lunenburg, primarily utilizing old railroad tracks, and is an excellent gravel ride. One more segment. Next stop….Durham NC!
Lots of good farm trails, open fields, and towns to ride through.60.04 mi 2,048 ft.
A wild mix of trails, featuring beautiful paved paths, gravel grind routes with stream crossings, and some nice elevation changes over 80.50 miles and 4,524 feet.
Washington, D.C., has a fantastic network of bike paths that are perfect for exploring, including the beloved Capital Crescent Trail and the scenic Anacostia River Trail. I was so touched when my sister Dana surprised me with a visit for some hugs and a good dinner together. 47.17 mi distance 2,195 ft. cancersoloride.com #PMC2025
