AdHoc Saturday Gravel Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday May 12th, 2018'
We need to get the DR's out as they have been sitting for far too long. The original plan was to head to Michaux State Forest but unfortunately the weather forecast has other plans. The thought is to head to the Fort Valley Road area and explore some of the unpaved roads around there.

The original plan was to ride the DR's up to Michaux but it's a bit chilly so we've opted to take the street bikes. The thought is to head down to Route 33 and then loop back up through Rough Run Road (an MTSweger suggestion). We haven't been on 33 in a few years.

Overnight to Snowbird Lodge - Oct 12 - 13
This adventure took place on 'Thursday October 12th, 2017'
Jackie's going to knock off early on Thursday. We'll leave for the Snowbird Lodge in the afternoon. The more time we have, the more varied the ride out as it's only 1.5 hours to the lodge. There's time to meander and enjoy some twists. The lodge provides dinner, usually 3 entrees to choose from, and the bar is well stocked with good wines. We'll spend a warm night on the porches or a cold one by the fireplace. The lodge provides breakfast, and will pack you a picnic lunch. The next day is for riding back east to home sampling any number of roads in TN, GA, SC, and NC. I'll be laying out that section shortly. Arrival home in Waynesville late afternoon.
North of I66 East of Front Royal
This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 30th, 2017'
To our surprise there are quite a few very nice twisty hilly roads in the area East of Front Royal and North of I66. The weather was gorgeous with dramatic skies. It was cool and windy but very pleasant. Our first target was Virginia Route 626 which is a beautiful rolling old rock wall lined road that wends its way through the countryside. From there we intersected 50 and turned left on SR 713 which was another simply beautiful road. We encountered a number of beautiful very old homes along the way. We made our way to Route 17 which we had ridden last weekend and stopped at Sky Meadows State Park where some civil war event was taking place. From there we headed North to Route 601 which is this tree lined dramatically hilly and curvy mountain road. We missed our planned turn and found ourselves on 7. We turned left onto Route 606 along the Shenandoah River. At one point as we slowed down to look for a spot to take a photo, a large branch fell in the roadway ahead of us. There were just too many good roads to remember them all. Cold Stream Road towards the end of the day off 29 stands out as does Route 6. The sun started to set as we turned onto Route 522 North which marked the point we started our way home.
