Buttermilk. There's always something spicy to keep it interesting.

Within 1 hour - Charlottesville has some goods - Ride Ohill for quick, fun gnar, couple drops and a massive step up. Ragged is a blast.

Little Over an hour - White Rock Gap is one of the most fun descents nearby. Super fun, doesn't last long enough, reminds me of Pisgah a bit. There's no good way to get to the top.

Blue Ridge School is fun.

2 hours - Stokesville. Narrowback west to Tillman West is probably the best introduction to the area if you're not used to hour long climbs and a decent amount of chunk coming down. You can shuttle Reddish, but I find the first third kinda meh.

Over 2 hours - Pisgah. Just go to Pisgah.

As do other cities in both the US and even elsewhere in Virginia. The city government here just always chooses the laziest/cheapest option for any given situation while making lazy/lame excuses as to why their way is the only way.

Every member of the city council and the mayor needs to be flushed out like the turds they are.

I'm not a technical rider at all and my goal on the trails is to avoid injury at all times. Leakes Mill is my favorite course because of this as it's more of an XC style of trail. It's challenging from an endurance and leg strength standpoint yet flowy enough for you to have fun without too much risk of hurting yourself. It's also impossible to get turned around and lost as it's just a giant loop.
