Frays Mill Bridge Is Open! – VDOT has reopened the bridge across Marsh Run on Frays Mill Road (at the bottom of “the Pyrenees”), which had been closed since January 2, 2024.  The work replacing the bridge was completed more than two and a half months ahead of schedule.  Because of the closure, CBC had to modify many of the routes that originate from the popular Spring Hill Baptist Church start point (as well as a few other courses) to detour around the bridge.  The ride schedule will be updated to reflect the reopening as soon as possible.  For upcoming rides, please ensure you upload the correct version of the routes to your navigation devices.

Stillhouse Creek Road is Closed – The bridge over Stillhouse Creek in Albemarle County south of Batesville is closed after VDOT crews discovered damage to one of the abutments that support the bridge deck and superstructure.  At this point, VDOT has no timeline for the bridge’s reopening.  Stillhouse Creek Road, which climbs up to Crown Orchard, is included on a number of CBC routes.  The next such ride on the schedule is the 33-mile Crozet – Batesville route on November 7; this may need to be changed.
