Harrisonburg Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Harrisonburg is a riding town in the proper sense — Massanutten's rock gardens on the ridge east of the valley, the Stokesville and George Washington National Forest classics to the west, and town trails between. The tread is Appalachian sandstone: chunky, technical and well drained on the ridges, softer in the hollows. The GWNF riding is remote enough that creek levels matter.
