Virginia destinations
I am working a 12 hour shift today & tomorrow I'm off. Sometimes I choose where to go, & occasionally I let the bike choose. I’m game to try something new… So give me some destinations in Virginia for a day trip....

It's a big state. I'm just south of Winchester so I tend to head for WV. Lost River etc. Sometimes I get up early and shoot down Skyline Drive to Big Meadows just to have breakfast.
How about the roads south of 55? Back Road, Zepp Road to 675, Fort Valley Road

The best way I've found to ride Virginia is to get a copy of the publication " A Map of Scenic Roads in Virginia" Available from the Office of Public Affairs, Virginia Dept. of Transportation. Any welcome center has them. It shows some 2,900 miles of roadway that is listed as a scenic byway. Shown on the map as light and dark green roads, any that I have been on have been worthwhile.
No, not all of the best motorcycle roads are listed, but an awful lot are. Enought to keep you busy for a long time.

We enjoy the ride down to Reedville on the northern neck (think this is what they call it). It is near Kilmarnock. Coming from Maryland we go 301 then down 3, go by George Washington's birth place, left on 203 then 202 down to Reedville. Backtrack just a short distance to 200 over to Kilmarnock then over the bridge at White Stone and back up 17 to 301. Before you do it double check my numbers. Great ride.

We have rode from Woodstock south on Rt 42 to Goshen. Take Rt 39 into Lexington and then Rt 11 back to Woodstock. Rt 42 and Rt 39 are good bike roads. Rt 11 gets boring at times.

Route 55 west through Front Royal and onto Mooresfield WV. Be sure to stay on "old" 55 once you get into WV. Pickup 220/28 (go left) in Mooresfield and go to Seneca Rocks. Take a left on 33 and follow it over the mountain into Harrisonburg. Take a right at the Thunderbird Diner (Route 649, I think). Take 649, after having lunch at the Thunderbird, to 340 and take a left. Take 340 to 211. Multiple possibilities from 211. Follow it east to Warrenton, or take 522 back up to Front Royal, or go west to Strasburg (sic)...
