BICYCLING AND MOTORCYCLING -  The many backroads in Rockbridge County Virginia, which surrounds Historic Lexington, make for some delightful bicycling and motorcycling. We have plenty of maps and books for your perusal in planning your riding vacation.

• The  4600 mileTrans-America Bike Trail, which goes all the way to  Astoria,Oregon, passes right in front of A B&B at LlewellynLodge. Riders can start all of these rides from the Lodge and any direction  they take will always take to a nice destination.
• One of our cylists' favorite loop rides is the Goshen Gallop) will features rolling hills, stream side  and mountain scenery, elevation change and the opportunity to do a picnic in one of Virginia's most spectacular natural areas, Goshen Pass.  Cool off in the warmer months in one of the many swimming holes. This can be a 45-65 mile loop depending on your stamina levels.
• Other rides include a trip that will take you by the Natural Bridge, the breathtaking limestone formation that is one of America's true Natural Wonders.
• Another loop ride takes you past 4 vineyards, a working Mill and 4 breweries.
• Another ride takes you to a mountain lake which features a challenging hill climb or 2.
• The 5 minutes away is the Chessie Trail, a rails to trail, open to cyclists. Experience the 12-14 mile down & back  journey along the very scenic  Maury River to the town of Buena Vista.

MOUNTAIN BIKERS can use certain areas in the National and State Forest. The State's Guys Run Game Management Area has some maintained roads near the Goshen Pass Naural Area but a daily fee is required. The North Mountain Trail is a more formidable ride at a higher elevation in the National Forest with some nice vistas.

FOR THE MOTORCYCLISTS we can offer several outstanding rides which can include the Blue Ridge Parkwayy. the Allegheny Highlands and even West Virginia. We have plenty of maps and other resource books to help you plan your one or multiple day rides.

• One of our guests' favorites starts at the Lodge and takes you to the mountains of Bath and Highland counties, no red lights or heavy traffic to worry about. Excellent seasonal foliage shows coupled with good old mountain air with lots of curves to test your bike on this one.
• Many like to ride back through the Bullpasture Gorge.
• Another favorite is taking the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Skyline Drive and looping back Rt 340 , Rt 11 or other meandering  secondary roads. Vineyards are usually along the way.
