For this year’s Front Royal venue we are offering main routes and Grand Master routes (GM are shorter with much less elevation). The routes are posted through Ride With GPS

All routes start at 10 am sharp at the same meeting point, Front Royal Skate Park, 100 Kerfoot Ave, Front Royal, VA 22630. We reduced the registration fee this year so that you can cover your own payment into the Shenandoah National Park, individual pass per person – $15.00 if you have an NPS Annual Pass – $80 you can go in with 3 other cyclists (4 in total), for more information regarding park fees please refer to this link.

We advise to everyone download the routes to a bike computer or cell phone. There’s no cell phone reception inside of the park
