SHENANDOAH VALLEY RIDE

The Shenandoah Valley trip is though the back roads in Virginia. It starts in Waynesboro and travels northeast on US 340. There is a slight detour through Grottoes, VA due to a glitch - actually I selected "Shortest distance" route - in my GPS programming.

The route crosses into West Virginia for a short time then back into Virginia for about two miles until crossing the Potomac River and into Maryland.  Check the bottom of the page for the Youtube Video!
