Both spring and fall make for excellent times to get outside and enjoy the cool temperatures and the breezy days, especially on a bicycle. Fortunately, if you live near Fredericksburg, Virginia, you can spend most of your time on the many dedicated bike paths in the area instead of limiting yourself to going around on the more dangerous city streets.
1. Fredericksburg Quarry Mountain Trails
At the northern edge of Fredericksburg along the Rappahannock River, you can find several short bike trails that follow the river or the top of the ridge above it. The ones down by the river are mostly easy, but the 2.5-mile Ridgeline Trail is more difficult, and the short trails that cross between elevations have black diamond, or very difficult, ratings. All told, the Quarry Mountain Trails have 13.8 miles for cyclists to explore.
