Sterling - Front Royal - Charles Town Loop - By Bigfrankie

I had to modify the route due to my starting point in Haymarket. First half of the ride was great. Tree lined roads, nice sweepers. I'm not looking to scrape the running boards. However, once I got to Rt 7 it became a 4 lane highway that wasn't as enjoyable. I then wanted to got to Rt 15 but missed the turn. Ended up taking Battlefield Parkway east to Evergreen Mills Rd south (which was nice)to Rt 50 W for a couple blocks to Gum Spring Rd S to Sudley and then home in Gainesville. A nice stop on the way was The Apple House Rest on John Marshall Highway in Linden. Very good pulled Pork sandwich and breakfast all day long. Worth the stop.
