There are few better ways to enjoy the fall in Virginia than pedaling the beautiful, rural Shenandoah Valley. Several of our routes have been updated in 2011 based on previous riders’ suggestions, making
our beautiful rides even better! For new route information, check bikeshenandoah.org/routes after September 1. All routes will have clear road markings, and maps will be available to all riders the day of
the event.
