The Alpine Loop

“One wicked route!” – Jeremiah Bishop
Winding Climbs, Magnificent Scenery, Thrilling Descents:

The Alpine Loop route begins in Harrisonburg, Virginia and covers approximately 110 miles, featuring approximately 10,000 feet of climbing. Four timed King and Queen of the Mountains segments and, new for 2021, a Sprint segment. The Alpine Loop includes unpaved, dirt, and gravel roads primarily featured on the mountain climbs.

Shenandoah Mountain Century

Set out for a fully-paved, 100+ mile challenge on the Shenandoah Mountain Century. Don’t be fooled by the name – this ride is more than the miles! You’ll take on two significant climbs over Shenandoah Mountain. King and Queen of the Mountains contest includes three segments. New for 2021, a Sprint segment has been added.

Shenandoah Mountain Adventure


The Shenandoah Mountain Adventure is a great challenge on all-paved roads! Riders compete in the King and Queen of the Mountains contest including three timed segments and, new for 2021, a Sprint segment.

Mt Solon Metric Century 

We unveiled this route in 2015 and it became an instant classic! The Mt Solon Metric Century features 62.5 miles of scenic Shenandoah Valley riding, including the beautiful backroads and nearly-secret riverside roads beyond Mt Solon. The total of 3,743 feet of climbing are spread out over the rolling Valley roads. The route includes the King and Queen of the Hill timed climbing segment on Mole Hill and, new for 2021, a Sprint segment.

Valley View Challenge

The Valley View Challenge is a proven winner of a route! Riders have told us they are impressed with the challenge we’ve served up over the distance; the climb on Mole Hill makes for a great adventure! New for 2021, the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project has added a Sprint Segment to the route.
