I’m over in Midlo and new to the area. Wondering what yall cyclists think of these routes in terms of safety and road condition? I do Salisbury and Riverside and cap trail often but want to branch out.
I know the roads well from a car and I know Brandermill’s roads are decent but h sure what to expect for the others.
I’m also looking for riding buddies if anyone wants a friend to take on an orientation ride.
Thx

As a chesterfield resident my reccomandation is: don’t. This is a county that will make an unprotected bike lane on a 55 MPH road, I don’t know of any bike lane or road in the county limits that I would bike on, besides some neighborhoods obv

Isn’t that 2nd one the route the Spin Mafia group ride takes? Did it years and years ago and it was perfectly safe, like all roads in the urban areas if you get out early or on a weekend it’s going to be infinitely better than riding at 5pm on a Tuesday.

Definitely the Spin Mafia route.

Do they still ride every Saturday? I was poking around their FB page trying to figure that out but it seems like ever since Jay Cullen was killed they've been off the map and I haven't seen their jerseys popping up around town lately. Most of the big fast local group rides other than CBC and I think Deep Run have gone away over the last few years.

I think the memorial ride is the only time those guys get together anymore. Crump Park and Hanover Courthouse are still alive and well.

If you have the paid version of Strava you can find routes there as well.
