Ride is based on one of the PPTC Weekly Winter Western Loudon Training Rides. It was designed by TJ Hegerich, I'm told. The ride is similar to the "Horse Hills" ride (47) in Scott and Jim's Favorite Bike Rides (except a. the return from Foxcroft Rd to Snikersville Pike and b. the route from 690 into Purcellville at the end.) This cue sheet adds the profile.
