Thaxton Mountain Road

Gravel Segment
From State Rte 684, Bedford to Thaxton Mountain Rd, Thaxton, Bedford County, Virginia
Great rolling gravel hills. There's a mildly technical descent towards the middle with some tight turns where things get a little loose. Google maps satellite view makes it look like there's a creek crossing over Goose Creek, but there is what looks like a newly built bridge there now. Combining this loop with Jeter's Chapel, Zimmerman, and Sandy Ford makes for a great 40ish mile loop.

This is probably a hoot on an adventure off-road-type motorcycle. It is not recommended for a street bike.

I had some trouble with loose aggressive dogs on the road about halfway down this segment.
