Tobacco Heritage Trail

35.6 mi Out-and-back 335 ft gain

35.6-mile mixed route with 335 ft of elevation gain, signed as part of the regional cycle network, routed on public roads.

Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • 25 mph wind — strong — plan for slow outbound if wind is against you.
  • Exposed + wet + windy — on road traffic in wet windy conditions — visibility and handling margin drop together.
