Downhill in the Winchester area

i live in front royal, like 30 minutes south of winchester. as far as downhill theres nothing for specifically downhill riding. but if you to element sports, theyre a local winchester shop. they will probably be able to give u more info. fyi theyre in the shopping center with a martins and borders. near the lowes.

yeah, I live on stephens city and I am practically in winchester. there arent many places to ride, but the places that I have found are really nice. elizabeths furnace is a while away but it is definitely worth it. there is always sherando park in Stephens city and they have hiking trails that are really fun to ride on. I ride there almost every day. another good place to go other than element is black bar bicycles. they are the nicest people and can tell you anything you need to know. They are going to start having rides every Thursday I believe in different areas. are they kids or adults because i could use some local ride buddies! haha.

Elizabeths Furnace has some good riding, but you have to push up or ride up.

There are plenty of places to ride up there. I ride there all the time....Kennedy Peak,Stevens Trail,31 Flavors,Wolf Gap,WaterFall,Scotchhorn. I could go on but you get the idea. There is a grocery store just outside(east) of Strasburg. They are also a bike shop. The guys name is Matt McHale. He used to own Half Moon Outfitters which he moved to the grocery store. Check him out and get a National Geographic Map. All the trails are on those maps. And yes you have to pedal up or hike. Ask Matt as well he may be up for showing you some trails. Don't get frustrated though when he climbs away from you on a V10 with a 888. He's a mad man!!!!!

Totally insane that there are no shuttle runs in the area. . . gonna have to work on that.

you could always get a helicopter license and fly in.

Or cut the lock off the gate and drive to the top of signal knob. . . anyone?
