About the event

Bike Meet-up: Galax to Chestnut Falls
This is a fantastic time of year to take-in the beautiful scenery of Southwest Virginia along Chestnut Creek.

Gravel tires work best on New River Trail crushed stone trail surface. This program is entirely weather dependent. It will be cancelled due to inclement weather or unsuitable trail conditions, so please check the events page listing for cancellations. Please note there is a $7 parking fee charged year-round at all New River Trail State Park access points.

Group Ride: Rides will be at a group pace. Riders may turn around at any point depending on fitness, preferred distance, and riding comfort. You must provide your own bike.

Etiquette: Be sure to leave no trace, ride within your limits, and anticipate other trail users. Stay right, pass left. Be aware of surroundings, especially on multi-use trails where you will encounter hikers, runners, and horseback riders. Pedestrians and equestrians have the right of way. Communicate your presence when approaching from behind.

Maintain Your Bike: Inspect your equipment before you ride. Check your tires for proper air pressure. Be sure your brakes are in working order. Lubricate and check the chain for broken links or rust. Carry a flat repair kit (tube, pump, tire levers) and a multi-tool.

Bring Appropriate Gear: Make sure you’re dressing for the weather. Bring appropriate layers. Bring snacks, fuel, and plenty of water. Always wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear.
