Yeah, that was the best part. I've never been on a trail like that before. It was almost like that scene from Star Wars, where the X-wings are flying in that tunnel to destroy the death star.
This really depends on how you like to ride. Even a good basic mountain bike would work. To get to most of the trails, you’ll need to climb some steep hills, so you’ll want a bike that’s also good at climbing.
I'm originally from Maryland, so I know Virginia very well. When I was back over the summer, we went to Basye, Virginia. It's not the same as all the great farmland you’re talking about, but it was fun. Here's a video from that ride. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PEb-tRON9WI.html
