State Rte 611Other route from State Rte 611 to Greyledge Rd, Buchanan, Botetourt County, Virginia "Crisscrossing and sometimes in the Purgatory Creek dry bed this stretch has no marked entrance from the north and feeds into the back of a small suburb to the south. Easy to miss if not watching the map. Amazing for off-roading trips or just a country drive. There are a few homes tucked in around the road. I would not recommend a low car however I did it in a Nissan Maxima and was fine. Do not get caught here in inclement weather or flash flood risks including snow melt or runoff. The creek bed is mostly dry. Best off the grid road in VA." 2 1 |

Wildcat Mountain traverseOther route from Forest Rd 812 to Forest Rd 812, Buchanan, Botetourt County, Virginia "Decommissioned road bed. Primarily grass, moss, and thick leaf litter cover; very little gravel. Totally rideable on 700c x 38mm, but would have been more enjoyable with more squish. At north end (lower elevation end), the gate is broken off. Look for rusted out gate posts. A challenging ascent to Parker's Gap road. " |

Forest Road continuedDirt route from Fringer Trail to Mountain Valley Rd, Buchanan, Botetourt County, Virginia "Continuation of forest road that connects Blackhorse with Chair Rock/Bobblett's Gap. Pretty decent condition until the last gate, after which there's some pretty rough primative track with a stream crossing or two for a mile or so until it intersects with Chair Rock." |

Pike/Chair Rock/Boblett's GapDirt route from Pike Rd to Mountain Valley Rd, Buchanan, Botetourt County, Virginia "Starts off as well maintained gravel on the Bedford side and turns to dirt track near the top. Crosses under the parkway and descends Chair Rock road to Boblett's gap road on the Botetourt side. Both sides can get rough but are perfectly suitable for rigid bikes with some decent volume tires and an eye for responsible lines. " |
