WARM SPRINGS, VA TO MOOREFIELD, WV – 172 miles

While in Warm Springs we recommend treating yourself to the crystal-clear water that bubbles up to the surface from deep underground. This healing water has been luring folks for generations.

North of Warm Springs the dirt roads are far twistier than any previous ones you’ve confronted – you’ll be riding over mountains and ridgelines that seem to go on forever. If you’re up for a little added challenge, take the optional harder track on Hite Hollow Road and make your way to the Brandywine General Store for fuel.

For the remainder of the section, enjoy riding ranges on flowing one-lane blacktop and constricted canyon-lined byways. Smoke Hole Canyon is especially thrilling given the pulsing South Branch of the Potomac River running beside it. Smoke Hole Caverns & Resort is a great place to rest for the night.
