Alright, I couldn't believe that our beloved Peaks View Park was not on this website yet. Hey, these are some great trails! Lots of short, steep up & downs, with enough technical demands to keep your attention . . . plenty of lovable, tight, twisty, rhythmic singletrack. Most of the trails are blue (intermediate), but there are a couple of expert trails too (Roller Coaster & Bottom Out). The trails are well-marked and well taken care of, thanks to the Central Virginia Mountain Bike Assoc (www.lynchburg.net/cvma) From the parking lot, cross the wood bridge over the creek and hang a right. You'll cruise along the creek and past a basketball court some softball and soccer fields along the paved bike path. There are three trail heads. To get a feel for everything this great network has to offer, go on past the first two all the way to trail head III. Take the trail to the right (Mimosa) which will take you to the back coner of the network. From there, take Lower Piney to Cyclone. Turn left toward trail head II, then right to take on Roller Coaster. It is entirely appropriate to whoop it up on this trail! There are a lot more trails than these out there though.
From Liberty U, take 501N until it crosses 221 and becomes Old Forest Road. When 501 peels off to the left toward Big Island, go STRAIGHT. Keep an eye out for the happy little brown signs telling you to turn left. If you miss the signs, turn left when you get to the Shell station. You'll wind through a residential area until you arrive at the park. Park by the big red barn.
