Virginia Key | An escape from the city just a short distance from it

Miami's financial distric is today looking like a mini -10 block long- Manhattan. With the highrise buildings lining the avenues its easy to forget the ocean is hiding just behind. Not many place's can say they have a gem to get away from it all only a 7 miles away from the heart of the city. And so, whether you want to pedal over, or drive, Virginia Key has become for many of us a getway that feels remote, yet is easily accesible.

The skills area is composed by a few wood features that can be used in a bunch of different way to practice a wide skillset, ranging from the fast to just barely moving. This is a great place to practice skinnies, tail hops and track stands without much risk.

One of the great things about VK is that it catters to everyone, the trails are super begginer friendly, well marked and well maintained. The challenge comes in more pronouced is as you start to get faster, so whether you're starting or have a few years under your belt, so long as you can pedal, you'll have loads of fun here.

The nature of the trails here is continous up and down, with loads of man made features, interestingly, these have not taken away from the flowyness of the trail which tends to happen often.

VK saves some of its best for last, Purple Haze, one of the newest trails that is still to be expanded in the near future is fast and flowy in some sections, techy in others, and pure xc in others. This is one that's easy to cruise through but hard to master.

Thanks Angel for leading the ride today!
