We’ll be riding a 65-mile route, starting from the Eastham Park, we’ll roll out together and approach Skyline Drive. This is one of the most scenic stretches of road on the East Coast, with long climbs, smooth pavement, and incredible views the whole way. The ride should be especially beautiful with the crisp fall air and the changing colors of the leaves along the Shenandoah Valley.

Date: Thursday, October 2
Start Time: 10:00 AM - it is roughly a 120-150 minute drive from Leonardtown
Start Location: Eastham Park, Luray Ave, Front Royal, VA 22630

We'll stick to 1715 for the remainder of the month to remain consistent. Sunset is at 1931. So we have 2 hrs plus a 15 minute reserve. This will be the last week we make the full run to the point. Afterwards, the Earth's tilt will require us to shorten our ride to get home before sunset. So come on out and make it a good one.
