Rob, Jeff, Bob, and Mark on a jump located on lower Buttermilk. It is located near the stairs that you have to carry your bike up. I shot this video.



This is Mark going down a set of stairs in the Forest Hill Park or Forest Hell as it is sometimes called!

A Buttermilk Trail Map.

You start at Reedy Creek Park that is off of 42nd about two blocks East down Riverside Drive. The trail goes West along the James River called "Upper Buttermilk” to the "Nickel Bridge (161). You then have to ride over the bridge to the North side of the river. This is called The “North Bank” and you bike East through the cemetery to Tredegar Street. You then go South on the footbridge under the Robert E. Lee Bridge (301/1). That brings you to Belle Isle.

You can ride all over this area with a number of trails that are from beginner to expert. You will encounter many people on B.I depending on what time of year it is. After this, you then go on the "Lower Buttermilk" trail biking west, skirting Riverside Drive and the train tracks along the banks of the James River. After completing this section, you will end back up at Reedy Creek Park where you began. This loop, depending on how much you ride on Belle Isle, will give you about 9.5 miles.

Mountain Bike Stuff...

My Wife bought me a set of Kenda Nevegal 2.35 inch tires for our Wedding anniversary. I installed them lastnight with Mark's assistance. My old tires were 2.2 inch tires.

She also bought me a XPORT Splistream 4-Bike 2'' hitch rack for my truck. The rack is made by Thule.

I am going to do a ride with Jeff today at Pocahontas Park and them do Buttermilk tomorrow morning with Mark and a few other people. I hope to get in about 15-18 miles over the next 2 days.

IT is about 39 degrees, VERY COLD! I will post a grand total of my miles later today…

Buttermilk Trail System...

Mark and I got in a 7.8 mile ride on the trail system yesterday evening. It was a good ride and i liked the trails better then i had before. I will hope to be able to ride them again soon as they are very challenging and the hardest trails that i have ever ridden on. They are 4 sections and some are harder than others. The first time i rode them i hated them, but my skills have improved more and i was able to ride them better.

More Stunts...

Mark attempting another stunt on Bell Isle. I call this place "Flat Rock Park" as you can only access it via the foot bridge over the James River. This area is really awsome to ride on and walk around. This is also part of the Buttermilk Trail System.
