RODEO RUN MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ride Summary
This is a great Motorcycle Route that will take you through some beautiful country. The total route will cover about 63 miles and is a comfortable two hours of driving time. Since there are a few good stops along the way, we suggest planning on about 4 hours of time to complete the ride. The ride consists of some great country roads with some tight curves, some sweeping curves and plenty of straight ways for opening up the throttle. There is a great Look Out within the first 16 miles of the trip. There is also good food available in Claudville, VA and in Stuart, VA.
