Another picture perfect day in the Shenandoah Valley. Another great road ride. This morning Gary & I took to the back roads with Shenandoah River Outfitters in our sights. We did pause briefly on Bixler's Ferry bridge to check out the South Fork of the Shenandoah River and snap a photo before continuing on Page Valley road to the Outfitters. (About the photos: For some odd reason, the camera on my phone inverts the images. I'm still trying to fix that, but have had no luck so far). Page Valley Road parallels the river, rolling and winding nicely, offering glimpses of the Massanutten ridge line to the West. Quick note here: During the busy season, this road will have a lot of fast moving traffic on it, making it unsuitable for inexperienced riders. The Redbud trees, Creeping Phlox and Lilacs were our constant companions for the ride, confirming that Spring has indeed sprung! After reaching our turn around point at Shenandoah River Outfitters, we stopped to chat with Nancy Goebel about the impending busy Summer season. SRO is going into their 40th year in business and this season promises to be another great one! As always, it was a great way to start the day. Tomorrow evening we will start up Sunday group rides. These rides are friendly (no one gets dropped) and depart from Ruffner Plaza in Luray at 5:30 P.M. "Thrive Outside"
