22nd Annual Shenandoah Valley Century (Virginia)

I'm a charlottesville resident and have done this ride several times...rolling
hills...no incredibly difficult climbs....good route...little traffic try
it!

Well, I would, but it's a bit too short notice. I've got a hip injury which
somewhat limits my riding and I've only been back on the bike (since my
college years - CLAS '72) since Aug 2003.

In my college years I could even climb Barrack's Road, past Garth, but not
now. I rode out to Scottsville and back to C'ville in one afternoon as
well, but when I tried it in my 30s, I had to give up going out Biscuit
Run, even though I was in good shape for my age, I thought. ;-)

Right now, the best I can do is to climb Chesapeake (parallels East Market
street) from Riverside park.

I often ride from Riverside park (near the River) up Chesapeake and then
back down East Market and make a loop, and then go out to Hog Wallow
(Franklin Street), Nassau St and Linden, and climb Broadway along the way.

Where do you normally ride if you don't mind my asking?
