Zion Crossroads Loop

Distance: 30 / 37 miles
Climbing: 50 / 40 feet per mile

​Description: From the Zion Crossroads Volunteer Firehouse, these are bucolic, gently rolling routes through rural Louisa and Fluvanna counties.  The long route breaks off near mile 8 and continues to Bybee and Wilmington before rejoining the short route.  Pedal by cows and horses, and even the occasional llama, grazing in the fields.

Stores: Louisa: mile 21 (short route), mile 28 (long route)

Alerts:  At the left turn onto Jordan Store (mile 18 on the short route and mile 25 on the long route), watch for oncoming traffic; they do not have great visibility at the intersection.
