The Fort Valley & Thornton Gap Run - By photoman12001

I rode this route over the past weekend and it was great. I live in Alexandria, VA. The ride from Warrenton to Sperryville to begin the prescribed route is really nice too, especially through Shenandoah National Park. All roads on the route were in very good shape. Traffic during mid-day Sunday was light. There is a spot that offers a spectacular view of the valley once you accend the mountain on 675 past Luray. You can stop there to take it in. After you descend from that spot you will hit a very tight corner after a few minutes. Heed the 5MPH warning sign.
