Although the closest MTB trails are a hours drive away in Williamsburg, the best country roads are right outside my door.
The best climb in Chesapeake is the Pungo Ferry Bridge. 17 miles from my house, this makes for a good ride. 10 mph up the bridge and 35 mph down the other side! Feeling good? Do it again! Luckily on this 55 deg. day, I had a tailwind on the way back. Alot of the year, when the days are longer, I can do this ride after work. Today was a good 35 mile day.
On a typical 30 mile loop, 8-10 cars may pass me. Almost never do 2 cars meet from each direction. The roads are varied, sometimes winding, sometimes straight as a arrow for miles. Sometimes through thick woods, sometimes across wide open farm land, always peacefull. What a way to clear your mind, nobody around, the wind in your face.
