Local Mountain Bike Rides

Six Hours of Dirty Dawg
Dirty Dawg is a 6-hour endurance race at Mountain Lake in July. Riders will try to complete as many laps as possible before the bell tolls six. For those of you who have yet to experience the trails at Mountain Lake, you are in for a good surprise. Nearly all the trails are above 4000′ with waist-high ferns and old growth Hemlocks towering above. The summer time temperature is nearly 10 degrees cooler than Blacksburg and the nights remain cool. It is truly a summer time hide out.

Rowdy Dawg
The first Rowdy Dawg mountain bike race was run in 1988 and has improved each year in October. A longstanding tradition in Southwest Virginia, the Rowdy Dawg is renowned for its excellent and GRUELING race course and typically draws a large and diverse field of participants.
