Wheel Fun

More than 700 cyclists are expected to descend in and around Staunton, October 20 through 22, for the 27th annual Shenandoah Fall Foliage Bike Festival. Saturday and Sun-day, riders can choose among nine supported routes—from an easy family loop to a hilly century—that wind past farms, Civil War battle-fields, and town and mountain views. The $90 adult registration includes street parties both Friday and Saturday, lunch on Saturday, and brunch on Sunday.

What’s Brewing

It’s no surprise that a region with a long history of growing grain would be turning some of it into beer. Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail maps out the breweries—including notable names such as Devils Backbone and Brothers Craft Brewing—between Harrisonburg and Natural Bridge, suggesting things to do and places to stay along the way
