NEW BIKING TRAIL AT WAHS The Western Albemarle High School mountain bike team has built a 3.5 mile trail around the campus that is open to the public outside of school hours. The trail map kiosk (see photo) is located in the upper parking lot and the trail has signs posted throughout.

The trail was built as a mountain biking trail though walkers and joggers are most welcome. WAHS is hosting a large bike race on Saturday, May 4th, from 9am to 5pm.  Stop by and cheer on the riders! Email [email protected] with questions.
