Timberville to Goshen Pass. Although traveling on primary roads, this ride will give you a look at the "other" mountain ranges in the southern part of the Valley. Once past Churchville you will have the Great North Mountain on your right. Keep an eye on traffic because there are many places where the shoulder is small. Mostly this is a jaunt straight down the Valley without major climbing. Goshen Pass, going east on RT 39 from Goshen is beautiful and well worth a few extra miles. |
