There were three of us on the run today (six counting our faithful trail dogs). Gary, Bob and
myself. Bob is the proud new owner of a Quintana Roo Tri bike that he bought from our shop just yesterday. During the transaction, Gary told Bob about our Friday trail runs and he eagerly accepted the invitation to run this 
morning. Considering the steady showers we had last night, the trail was in excellent condition. There has been much excavating and building going on within the park during the last year. According to the site listed above, there are 13 miles of trails in the park (6 of which are multi-use) meaning they are open to hiking, biking and horseback riding. Gary and I mountain biked here a couple weeks ago and I think 13 miles is a conservative estimate. While there are a few short but steep climbs, most of the trails roll pleasantly through
the woods and along ridges, offering fantastic views of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. The native Virginia Red Bud and Blue Bells are in full bloom, making the run even more scenic than usual. We are looking forward to further exploration of the trails on foot and bike. Another nice thing about the park is that it is only a 10 minute drive from my house. "Thrive Outside"
