This ride's general location is on the eastern bank of the James River
approximately 25 miles northeast of Lynchburg and southeast of Charlottesville.
Scenery includes dense woods and open fields; the Tye River Overlook offers a
great view of the James and Tye Rivers. This is a good family ride. The only
sounds are the breezes whispering through the mixed oak hardwood forest and the
far-off wail of a freight train. Caball Trail is suitable for novice bikers,
although parts of it may be a bit difficult for youngsters whose climbing and
bike handling skills could be overstressed on some rough sections of trail. It's
gravel in some sections and grassy double-track in others, but this five-mile
loop is only the first of a system of multi-use trails that will eventually be
20 to 25 miles long. |
