great work out. this is old farm trail, also known as gateway. meaning it is the gateway to pandapas, when you get to the top of this climb it puts you on the fs road, or jeep trail. across the road from the top of old farm is jacobs ladder (awesome downhill) to the left about 1.5 mi. is beauty, great trail, to right about a mile is snake root, and about 1.5 mile to right is horse nettle. all these trail drop down brush mtn. on the pandapas pond size. longest ride from bottom of old farm has been about 18 mi. for me

Very difficult ride up, Fun ride down. however, I would like to know where the road at the top of the trail goes. If anyone has any information on this please share it. Thank you.

Awesome trail. I'm pretty new to the trail riding scene, but this trail is pretty awesome. Steep climb, very technical, but the ride down is awesome.

I've never biked this trail, but I've run it several times. This trail is so steep that running it can be difficult at times. This trail is not for beginners - only experienced Hokies. it is an unwritten rule that this trail should only be done at night. eventhough this trail is only about 2 miles long, it puts you right into pandapas - which is huge.
