​Description:  This is a beautiful ride through the open farmland of the central Shenandoah Valley. The route runs mostly north and south and therefore is fairly flat. There is one hilly section on the long route between mile 29 and 34. The ride is popular for its distinct terrain compared to the region east of the mountains.
