Thursday "Variety Pack" ride (Stevensburg)

A Visit to Cedar Mountain Battlefield

Location:  Lenn Park, 19206 Edwin Way, Culpeper, VA 22701

"The dirt road of death is my favorite stretch of Variety Pack road" - Greg

CAUTION:  One mile of the proposed route is hard-packed dirt.  

This route takes us to Cedar Mountain battlefield then returns to Rapidan road to Rapidan then back to Lenn Park via the "Rapidan" route.  About one mile of hard packed dirt is required to avoid riding on 522, but also to use beautiful Mitchell's road. 

The rest stop will be at the battlefield exhibit 18 mile mark.  There is water at the visitor's center.   There is no other water on the route other than at churches in Rapidan.  If needed, the riders will continue a short distance past the turn off of Rapidan road onto Twin Mountain to stop at the church on the left.  

The shortcut is to continue from Mitchell's on course on Rapidan road.
