Cycling in Sissonville

Start at Fishers Chapel Church near Haines Branch Exit 116 of I-77.  Can also start at the exit park n ride, but church is a safer place to park. A couple of good climbs, rolling ridge riding, and some fairly flat sections.  A little of everything. 0.0 Start 0.4 Right onto Rt. 21 3.4 Cross under I-77 at Goldtown Exit. 4.8 Right on Dog Fork Road. 8.3 Right on Rt. 34 after Steep Climb.  Next 5.5 miles will be rolling ridge ridiing. 13.9 Right at intersection of Rt. 21 - continue rt. 34.  Begin downhill. 15.0 Right toward Interstate - continue Rt. 34. 16.2 Store on right after going under I-77 at Kenna Exit. 16.3Right - bare right at intersection at top of hill. 17.3 Continue straight at intersection of Fishers Ridge Road.  It is an alternate route back.  Shorter via Fishers Ridge, but more climbing. 17.6 Right on Sugar Creek at bottom of dip.  Look for broken pavement a gravel of this road. 24.9 Bare Right at Stop sign. 28.8 Finish.

I start from Fishers Chapel as it is safer to park there than at the park and ride at the Haines Branch Exit (Sissonvlle exit if heading south on I-77.  I believe it is exit 116 on I-64. This is a fairly flat loop except for the steep climb at the end of Dog Fork (Monday Road at that end.) up to Routee 34.  Climb starts at 13%, eases to 8-10%, ramps to 17% before easing out at top.  Allens Fork Road is a long gradual descent back to Rt. 21.  I prefer this direction, as Allens Fork will have the most traffic, by going downgrade, you are spending the least amount of time on it.  None of the roads are very busy except for commuting times.
