AVOIDING FLEETWOOD.
Half the hills are uphill and there might be a headwind. (I add this note for those who are tired of all the downhills and consistent tailwinds from BVP.) This scenic country ride uses some familiar and quiet roads but avoids the busiest section of Fleetwood. Both routes eventually go up Fitzwater, across Kennedy, and down Greenwich to the first rest stop at Dumfries Market. Then both routes go straight to cross Dumfries Road and to roads that we have ridden before. There is nothing new here but the ride is still in the beautiful countryside of Fauquier and Prince William counties. The short route ascends 1,400 feet - a flat-ish 40 feet per mile. The long route ascends 2,100feet – 42 fpm.
