Graysontown

After reaching Christiansburg, the loop takes you through Riner, Graysontown, and Radford with lots of fine country along the way. There aren't any large climbs except going and coming through Ellet valley. Once you reach the loop there are white "Dan Henry" symbols painted on the road from the Spring Wilderness Road Rides (map) - follow the marks that say "35." This loop can be extended by 15 or 35 miles - see other routes as they are posted.

Distance: 55.2 mi.
