Sky-Mass is a well-know road cycling route that starts in Front Royal, takes you up Skyline Drive to Thorton Gap, down through Luray, up over Massanutten Mountain and back to Front Royal along FT Valley. It is a challenging ride: 82 miles with 7,000+ feet of elevation gain. My preference is actually to do the loop in reverse, as Mass-Sky. The climbs and descents are better that direction, and you get to end with a 6 mile descent at 30+ mph!
We're still working on a page hightlighting local loops, but we do have some brochures in the store on loops for road cycling, mountain biking, and more. If you are looking for a good loop, we'd be happy to help you find a great route!
