RIDE: Lost River | MILES: 95 | LOCATION: Mathias, WV

Hardy County and the town of Mathias, West Virginia, where Lost River barn is located, was settled in the late 18th and early 19th century by Dutch, German and Scottish immigrants. They were drawn to the area’s lush, fertile river valleys and meadows. Lost River Ride is a 95 mile loop through this still beautiful and sparsely populated region of the Appalachian Mountains. The ride, on paved and gravel roads both, features twisty descents, a range of climbs, very little flat and 8000 feet of climbing. And the chance to outrun fox, deer, mountain lion and maybe even a bear.
