We are a small group of bicyclists who live around Abingdon, Va. Our objective is to improve our own bicycling experiences and promote local bicycling. We can go a long way in doing this by building a network of road and mountain bike riders in the area and by encouraging each other to get out and ride. Most rides start and end near Abingdon because that's where we live. Hopefully as other cyclists from Washington Co. and adjacent areas join us they will suggest additional ride options. Currently the calendar contains only road rides.

Backbone Rock is one of the most unusual rock formations in the world. It is a long, narrow stone ridge that extends from adjacent Iron Mountain. "The rock" stands approximately 75 feet high and 20 feet thick. Beautiful Backbone Rock Falls is located just across the road!
