This is a hilly, very scenic out-and-back on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.  Skyline High School is ~1 mile from the Park entrance (milepost 0) in Front Royal, VA.  We'll ride to Skyland Lodge (milepost 42) and back.  We will also stop and re-group at Elkwallow Wayside (milepost 22) on both the outbound and return.  

There is an entrance fee for bicycles to enter the Park.  I will have a Park pass that will allow 4 bikes to enter.

While the climbs are not steep, they are long and sustained, with a total elevation gain of 8,500' - 9,000'.  Expect to ride slower here than at home in Baltimore!
