Episode Details

Roanoke’s mountain bike trail network thrives thanks to the Roanoke Mountain Bike Alliance, a volunteer-driven nonprofit that’s partnered with the city for 15 years to build and maintain trails like the Trough Trail and Vic Thomas Park. Their success mirrors models like Blacksburg’s, where city, land trust, and volunteer collaboration has created over 20 miles of trails—boosting recreation and tourism. Volunteers bring passion and free labor, while public agencies provide oversight and long-term planning. Despite hurdles like bureaucratic delays and tight budgets, the RMBA is forging smoother partnerships to protect and expand Roanoke’s outdoor legacy, turning it into a premier destination for riders and nature lovers alike.
