A word to the wise: starting Saturday April 25th, the section of Northbank from the Pumphouse Trailhead parking lot to the lower ramp below Stairway to Heaven will be closed due to the ramp demolition and construction of the new trail.
The Trail Crew is gonna try to get this thing finished and open ASAP, in its most incredible final form. We were hoping we’d not see a closure/detour - but in the name of finishing it all up, we gotta give em some space!
For now, enjoy a Byrd Park detour and HARK! back to thee olde ways that we used to have to ride Northbank…with Stairway as our entrance and exit.
A reroute is marked with yellow arrows, and also lives digitally on the rvaMORE Ride With GPS account if you need to check it out.
The closure is expected to last two weeks.
Spread word wide n far!
