# General Information
* **Route**.  Paved, 80 mile long loop starting in Skyline Drive (Front Royal, VA), passing Luray (Shenandoah Valley), crossing the Massanutten Mountain and then going parallel to the Passage Creek (Fort Valley).  
* **Route profile**.  At the beggining of the ride in Skyline Drive, one initial long climb combined with short descents (first 21 miles).  A second shorter but steeper climb (2.8 miles) in the Massanutten Mountain (mile 45).  After that, rolling road all the way to the end of the ride. 
* **Start point**. Parking available in Skyline Drive, 700 ft before the Skyline Drive Park Entrance Station.  You may park on both sides of the road.
* **Fees**. To enter Skyline Drive Park you need a Shenandoah Annual Pass Unlimited Entry for one year.  It can be purchased at the Park's Entrance Station on Skyline Drive.  Cost of the pass: $40.  Each pass covers up to four cyclists.      (@point[Entrance Station](d,708.36)).
* **@point[ Refueling](d,64633.46)**.  Recommended stop in Luray, 7-Eleven (mile 40, 
610 E Main St, Luray, VA 22835).  Bathroom available. After mile 40 there are no more refueling points.  Bring two bottles for liquid and extra power bars.
* **Duration of the ride**.  Five to six hours.
* **Safety weather**.  Early in the morning, as you climb Skyline Drive, temperature may decrease up to four/five degrees.  Also, you can expect fog once or twice a week in Spring and Summer.  Bring arm and leg warmers, windbreak and front and back lights (these are mandatory in Skyline Drive).
* **Safety traffic**.  Road conditions are excellent. Because of narrow shoulders and two-way roads, "single line all the time". 
* **After the ride**. Plenty of options for restaurants in Front Royal. Suggestion for a good hamburger and beer: PaveMint Taphouse and Grill (9 S Commerce Ave, Front Royal, VA 22630). Downside, service could be slow.
