Stokesville Douthat Stokesville 3 day ride

The 3 day ride is a very good option

Check out the pictures from the 3 day singletrack tour on Shenandoah Mountain Touring's Picasa site

Shenandoah Valley spring storms make great route choices!

amazing sky today

I wanted to go huge over Shenandoah Mountain from town
Rough Run is such a sweet route
and then back over again via Rt. 33
I had the gear bagged and sealed - jacket and gloves
but I had to turn and dodge north
the storms were looking a bit powerful
met up with Jack and John while at the crux
got in some nice additional miles with them
we kept nice and dry for the rest of the ride
while surfing the tailwind back to town


north west looks ok

west looks sketchy

beautiful, but sketchy

nice little pockets of mountain goodness

wet roads dry me

wet me and raining good

feels great!

the Rough Run area looks rough

pedal forward into a new plan

north east is looking safe

Jack and John were looking for dry roads too

beautiful views towards Massanutten

Jack carves the dreamy roads

John is happy he didn't cancel his ride

the contrast is amazing!

Road Biking in the Shenandoah Valley - its GREAT!

Always a ton of great options when bicycling in the Shenandoah Valley
Loops and lodging, its all super good

Book at night at a snazzy B&B like the Joshua Wilton House
or shack up at ChrisScottistan

A storm was coming hard
We looped around and about it west towards the mountains
Rode with the buggies and bicyclists
Arrived back into Harrisonburg to wet pavement

Perfection!

Tony makes the big push over the last summit at the top of Dowells Draft in the SDS 3 - day. Going big with your bicycle on National Forest singletrack is a great experience!

Gotta like the pink lady slippers!

Elliott's Knob is way up in the clouds, time to ride up onto the magical mountain for some electric green mossy singletrack!

SDS 3 day is sweet, we are about to ride Elliott's...PARTY!

SDS 3 day is sooooo nice!

SBC, my local Harrisonburg VA bike shop has a new smoothie bar and it is tight! Kurt is THE artist!

Nice evening sky to enjoy with my bicycle ride in the Shenandoah Valley! - a dreamy good time!

The roads over towards Massanutten Mountain are very nice to ride
