Friday Morning Forest-Roads Ride

In case of event changes, make sure you RSVP, and manage your Meetup settings to allow you to receive email updates for this group, including start time and location, and new comments and chat messages.

Our next ride will be on Friday, 9/6 when we will ride out and back on Cub Run Rd (FSR 65) on Massanutten Mountain, with an option to extend the ride onto Pitt Springs Rd (FSR 375). We will meet promptly at 9 AM at the Boone Run East parking area at the start of our ride - a 35 minute drive from HBG (see the Google map below for driving directions). We will plan to start riding at 9:15 AM.

The Cub Run portion of this ride is total 17 miles out and back with 1,700 ft of climbing on a good forest road. The optional extension on Pitt Springs Rd is a new ride for this group so conditions are not known. E-bikes are welcome but non-E-bikes will set the overall pace. MTBs are always recommended for our group rides, though Cub Run is a good forest road so gravel bikes will work. See the Ride with GPS map below for the riding route that includes all of Pitt Springs Rd, though this portion is an optional extension - we might ride some or none of it. We'll take breaks, and plan to be back at the cars by NLT 2pm.

Current forecast is for 79 degrees and partly cloudy. Bring lunch, snacks, rain jacket, sunscreen, bug spray and plenty of water.

Since this is an out-and-back, you have the option to ride faster, or ride slower and ride less than the full route, as long as you manage your time to arrive back at the cars by the agreed upon time.
