The idea behind VBRA.

After moving here in July 2020, Emily and I quickly realized this place was an undiscovered gem. We figured it would be fun to share this place with everyone!

 
 

Our Mission

Safely provide all customers with an absolutely awesome riding experience while also giving back to our community. We are going to donate 5% of every trip booked to local cycling organizations. Why? Because we love the trails, access, and opportunity here in the Roanoke Valley and we want to keep it awesome. Therefore, we feel that sustainability of our trail networks, bike paths, and community are just as, if not more, important than the enjoyment we get from them. So we are going to use our dollars to keep our area open and accessible.
