Trans-America Bike Route

Russell County

The Trans-American Bike Route has been a major route for biking explorers since its inception. The route helps cyclists explore the landscapes and history of America for fitness, fun, and self-discovery. This classic ride offers everything you would expect from a transcontinental crossing over the Appalachian Mountains into Southwest Virginia. You'll encounter all kinds of scenery and terrain, including waterfalls, lakes, lush forests, mountain passes, sweeping vistas, fertile farmlands, rolling hills, and wide rivers. You'll pass through small, out-of-the-way towns in Southwest Virginia that still serve up some of the best home-cooked meals and fresh-baked pies. Communities pour out their hearts to our cycling friends on the TransAmerican Bike Route.
