This was my first ride as a new cyclist. I'm completely out of shape and struggled on several of the larger hills but I had a lot of fun. I would recommend this trail to anyone. I suggest that you go when the park is closed to vehicles and go early. I was informed that this coming Spring (2010) they are going to resurface this trail which will make it even better.

Great ride, especially the "full moon" ride when the park is open for bikes only during a full moon. Take your light, a snack/fluids and enjoy! I would consider this more of a moderate ride for beginners to even those who have ridden "some". The main road is asphalt, but you can go off onto dirt/rock trails and roads. The coop is about 11 miles and open until 10am in the mornings for bikes only. After that, you share the roads with cars.
Similar Trail: Loved the Virginia Creeper Trail Whitetop to Damascus. It's sooo easy and beautiful with different terrain.

Saturday and Wednesday mornings the loop is closed to vehicles. It is a scenic loop with lots of wildlife early in the morning. Loop is paved the entire 11 miles. Great for wildlife viewing.
