(((  Not Final, May Be Revised!! )))

 

Blue Ridge Parkway

Many of you may want to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway, but . . .The closest way is to take US-33 East to the top of the mountain and then enter the Shenandoah National Park - Skyline Drive - which costs $15 for a 1-7 day pass (no one day passes!). To miss this "ka-ching" you will need to head East on US-33 to Elkins, turn right to go south on US-340 to Waynesboro, hang a left to go East on US-250 to the top of the mountain to the beginning of the Blue Ridge Parkway (free) and then end of the Skyline Drive (and the ka-ching). It is about 45-50 miles (one-way) to avoid the ka-ching) - your choice.

 

Countryside Ramble - 60 Miles, 1.75 hours

Beautiful country ride - all skill levels - 50% single file, narrow, yet safe roads

- a fair number of curves (no twisties) and a rolling up-down route.

 - pastoral, with mountain views

 

Goshen Falls Loop - 137 Miles, 3.25 Hours

 Nice countryside ride, with mountain views, some curvy sections,

 - combo of flat and up-down, suitable for all riders, side diversion for GAS (and eats if wanted)

 - nice pull-off above the Goshen Falls Rapids - caution on return to highway.

 

Sperryville - 2 Mountains - 120 Miles, 2.5 hours

This loop will take you up and then back down both sides of two mountains, with some scenic countryside riding in between. Can be safely ridden by all levels of rider, but it is suggested that groups be broken up into "more-expert" and "less-expert" and that both groups take caution especially on the downhill sides, and always ride your own ride.

 

Sperryville - 3 Mountains - 120 Miles, 2.75 hours

This loop will take you up and then back down both sides of three mountains, with some scenic countryside riding in between. Can be safely ridden by all levels of rider, but it is suggested that groups be broken up into "more-expert" and "less-expert" and that both groups take caution especially on the downhill sides, and always ride your own ride.

 

Seneca Rocks Run - 135 Miles, 2.75 hours - - Lotsa Twisties - Caution

This is the real twisties, recommended for experienced riders only (else go real slow)

- if not experienced pick one of the Sperryville rides for your twisties

- if not expert but want tough route, pick this one (not Elkins) and take time to go slow.

- starts ho-hum, but then gets twisty

 

Elkins Loop - 220 Miles, Nearly 5 hours - Longest Ride - Lotsa Twisties - Caution

This is the real twisties, recommended for experienced riders only (else go real slow)

- if not experienced pick one of the Sperryville rides for your twisties.

- or the Seneca Rocks run, if you must have real Twisties - run on a slow group

- starts ho-hum, but then gets twisty
