Discover the Major Taylor Mountains Summit Roanoke, Virginia
Roanoke, Virginia is known as the “Mountain Biking Capital of the East,” but its cycling appeal goes far beyond singletrack. Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, the city offers a wide range of riding, from flat scenic greenways to long, sustained road climbs.
Mill Mountain Park sits right above downtown and can be reached by bike in about 15 minutes. The climb leads to the iconic Roanoke Star overlook and offers a solid effort with great views. The city also features over 30 miles of paved trails connecting neighborhoods, parks, and local spots. The Roanoke River Greenway runs through the heart of the city, providing a smooth, scenic ride along the river.
Roanoke also serves as a basecamp for some of the best road cycling in the region. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just minutes away, offering long climbs, fast descents, and minimal traffic.
Cycling is a core part of the city’s culture. After the ride, there are plenty of local spots to unwind, including downtown breweries like Deschutes and Big Lick. Bike shops such as Cardinal Bike Shop and Roanoke Mountain Adventures support the local scene and offer rentals, service, and group ride options.
