This is an out and back ride on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.  We'll meet at the Front Royal entrance gate at mile 0 and ride to Skyland at mile 41.  There is a wayside store at mile 24 that we'll stop at in both directions.  There is no cue sheet for the ride since there are no turns!  Expect 8,000'+ of climbing!  There is an admission fee to the park.

mnferwerda With a 9:30 start, I doubt there'll be any space to park near the entrance. But from the description, it seems we'll group up at mile 0.

jeffblankman I was hoping to park on the shoulder of Skyline Drive near the entrance gate. If the area is full, I’ll go to one of the first pull-offs/overlooks.

cctrekker FWIW, if you cannot park outside the main entrance, Skyline High School is very close by.

cctrekker STRONGLY recommend you have a front and rear light. Sometimes the park won't let you ride if you don't have one. You will be going through a tunnel on this ride.

jeffblankman I will be at Skyline High School at 9:15 a.m., which is very close to the Skyline Drive entrance outside of the park. I'll head to the gate house at 9:30.
