Ride Summary:
Very similar to Bother Ridge but longer. A long climb followed by a challenging descent.
Trail Description:
This ride is beautiful with amazing views of West Virginia from Shenandoah Mountain. The ride is a challenge but fun for skilled riders who don't mind a long climb at the start. The downhill begins as wide single track but soon becomes a tight and twisty. Beware of the steeps as well as a few rocky technical sections and a hike-a-bike or two.
At the junction of FR 24 & 25, follow 25 up to top of Shenandoah Mt.
