Routes / Help: Route from Wash, D.C. to Charlottesville, VA

« on: August 08, 2008, 03:01:41 pm »

Hello all,  Many thanks for the suggestions.  I agree the Front Royal -
Skyline route is the way to go scenically and I think I will return that
way.  I will look into the AC route toward Richmond as one possibility
since I plan on doing this trip a few times.  For the first trip down I am
learning towards a route that heads from Arlington (that's where I am
for the Kingstownian) toward Warrenton and then on back roads and as
directly as possible to Charlottseville.  On the return, if I head toward
Waynesboro to get on Skyline for the scenery I may come down at
Thorton Gap to Sperryville and then back toward Warrenton.  If anyone
has relatively current cue sheets for backroads from Warrenton to
Charlottesville, and Sperryville to Warrenton that would help...I have
Delorme maps but ready-made cue sheets are easier on my 52-year-
old eyes.  Thanks all!

Hello,

I'm looking for a route that is as direct, safe, fast, and scenic between the
Washington, DC metro area (I live Northern Virginia) to Charlottesville, VA.  
I would to ride down in a day (I can ride 150+ miles a day) and ride back
a day or two later.  Thanks for any suggestions.
