I have a place on mount weather in bluemont, and while I have been building trail on our property, the lower end doesn't connect to a road. This is a problem.
I have been looking at the topo maps for the area, and I think there is a potential shuttle run from the raven rocks down to 643. Some minor pedaling at the end, but on the map it looks doable on a big bike. The legality of this route is somewhat questionable and the topozone map is sufficiently out of date that the AT sort of disappears around the area in question, so I was hoping some locals might have some info on the area.
There also looks to be some potential coming from 601 down toward the river between rt 7 and rt 50, but as I said, my maps are out of date. Any firsthand experience in the area?
I know there is a section of the AT that is shuttleable, but i dont want to anger the trail nazis if i can avoid it.
