Log-In
Three days of riding on low-traffic, scenic roads with rolling hills and some more challenging climbs, and one day exploring the local area (options include hiking, and visiting caverns and wineries). For Intermediate and Advanced Riders.
Due to limited space, this event is only for WWO Members. Join us for spectacular weekend, bicycling through the beautiful countryside and rolling hills of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Each day we'll enjoy a different route. On the rides yoiu'll see breathtaking views, pass farmland, rivers and streams, and we'll end our evenings dining together. There is relatively little car traffic, and many opportunities to stop at interesting places.
For those who can join us on Friday, we'll do a short ride (30 miles or less) out of Middletown, VA enroute to Woodstock, VA where we'll be staying. On Saturday, you'll have a choice of rides -- 39 miles, 2400" elevation or 50 miles , 3100" elevation. For our third day of riding, you can choose between a 39 mile or 30ish mile ride. The terrain is mostly rolling hills but all have few good climbs which are definitely worth the effort. On our fourth day, we may hike Big Schloss via Wolf Gap Trail (4.4 miles) for a fantastic view and/or visit caverns, wineries or do a short bike ride. The order of the biking days and other activities will be influenced by the weather. As will all our rides, we will have leaders and sweeps, and no one will be left behind.

20 miles, elevation 945 feet. For advanced beginners and intermediate riders. Average pace 10 - 12 mph. Route includes rolling hills and a few good climbs.
Join us for a ride in the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve and learn why the Ag Reserve is the envy of cyclists in the mid-Atlantic. This ride is great for advanced beginners ready to try a more challenging ride with a supportive group. We’ll ride on some of the most beautiful roads in the Reserve-- passing by active farms, horses, orchards, woods and streams. We'll ride on paved country roads with very light traffic. Mostly rolling hills with a couple of climbs. Best suited for road bikes or a hybrid that can tackle hills.
As with all WWO rides, there will be a leader and a sweep, and no one will be left behind.

22 miles, 1400" elevation. Suitable for advanced beginners ready to challenge themselves and above. Gravel roads with gentle hills and a few short steeper climbs.
Join us for this fun gravel loop out of Bluemont,VA (Loudon County). You will experience low traffic roads along the scenic countryside. We’ll see plenty of horses, a few goats, fantastic old stone walls, scenic churches and graveyards, and beautiful small communities like Unison. The gravel is well packed for the most part, with just a few bumpy sections. Come along and give it a try!
The route is 21.6 miles with 1400 feet of elevation. This is a ride for advanced beginners and above. There are primarily gentle hills with just a few short, steeper ups and downs. Riders say the 21 miles on gravel feels like about 30 miles on the road. You must be comfortable handling some uneven terrain and should have tires that are at least 35mm, preferably with some textured tread. Gravel bikes, road bikes with 35mm+ tires, hybrids with 35mm+ tires, or mountain bikes are all options. The ride is about 70% on unpaved roads.
There will be a leader and sweep, and no one will be left behind.
There is limited space, so please register early. This ride is free for Members but you must register.
