The George Washington National Forest is home to all 26 rides in this guide, where the terrain ranges from smooth, twisting single track to technical boulder fields. Just hours from Washingon, DC and other mid-Atlantic metro areas, this scenic and challenging mountain biking destination in the upper Shenandoah Valley is out of the way but not out of reach.
Routes range from the delightfully easy, 7-mile "Blue Suck Run" ride to the stone staircase and craggy pinnacle of the challenging 16-mile "North Mountain" ride. Each route description includes a detailed map, directions to the starting point, mileage, estimated riding time, trail highlights, and elevation profile. And like all the volumes in the Off The Beaten Track series, this book includes guidelines for riding in the National Forest, lodging and camping information, and area resources for cyclists, including local bike shops.
