- The James River Heritage Trail is our hometown trail system in Lynchburg. It consists of 5 paved, linked trails. Our video shows you how to navigate the trails to log a 19.5 mile ride. Lynchburg City and Amherst County have done a great job creating this trail system. We encourage you to come to Lynchburg to ride your bike and take advantage of some of the great amenities in our revitalized downtown!
Great video. Makes me want to visit Lynchburg.
You will not regret visiting Lynchburg! 😎
The trail is closed a little over a mile from Linkhorne Middle School entrance due to a city construction project. If you park downtown, you can still ride most of the trail. I’ll post again when the trail is open again.
Nice overview. Thanks!
Wow! What a great video of a great ride. I will see you on the trail soon.
Thanks, we are fortunate to have this trail system in the area!
Tom, is that you?! Bill Booz from VSTE days here. Have watched several of yours and Gretchen’s videos without realizing who you were. This one just came up in my feed. Very nicely done. I recently got an e-bike from Bikes Unlimited and have been riding our collection of trails almost daily. Need to get trailer hitch and heavy duty rack so I can explore other trails. Are you aware of any trail advocates here in Lynchburg? I’d like to promote the further work on development of proposed trails to extend BWC Trail as described in the master plan.
Yes, that’s me. Gretchen and I love to ride bikes. During the pandemic, we could not stand sitting at home. So we took our camper around Virginia doing these videos! Bent on Bike Trails was hatched! Glad you got a bike. It is so important to keep moving as we age and biking is a good exercise for old joints and bones! Parks and Rec are in charge of the bike trails. I don’t think there is a single person in charge. Just call the Director with questions you have. Take care and ride on!
@@BentOnBiking - Tom, thanks for responding. You two have certainly covered a lot of ground! Enjoy your videos. Too bad there wasn’t more foresight when the railroad was abandoned part of which is the Blackwater Creek Trail. Imagine if we could cycle on a separated trail al the way to Bristol! I look forward to getting my car equipped to be able to carry my bike (64 lbs!) to other trails.
Loved watching your videos. Very impressively done. I had no idea!!!
You both are amazing. I think I love the Lynchburg trails the best -- but I’m not a biker!!-❤
Thanks Jane. It’s easy and healthy to become a biker!😎
Just discovered your channel. Great videos! So many trails I didn't know were out there. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, we love riding trails and making the videos is a lot of fun!
What a great introduction to L’burg. Beautiful trails and cool people
We hope to visit your area next year. Very informative video.
We hope you can and we think you will love the trail system and….our fine city! 😎
Nice looking trail system there. The convenience of the Amtrak station may be of some help too, yeah?
You can access the trail from the station!
@@BentOnBiking awesome 👏
Hi at about 5:54 on the video you come to a fence, the words are too small for me to read. assume that the trail stops there or can you continue through? Thank you.
That is the turn around point. Amherst County has plans to extend the trail for several miles but a landowner is preventing that option.
@@BentOnBiking thank you for your quick k response, I look forward to doing this trail and spending time in Lynchburg.
The trail is now open except for a short segment from Hollins Mill to downtown due to power line construction.
The trail is now open everywhere!
