Harmony Church Road-Loudoun County, VA

Postby biometrics » Wed Mar 28, 2012 8:19 am

I was on my way to Winchester and I was travelling west on VA Rt 7 when traffic came to a complete standstill, and no movement as far as I could see. I was in the right lane immediately adjacent to the exit for US-15... The traffic didn't move for more than 5 minutes, and I decided that moving air over my cynlinder heads would be a better option than sitting at an idle... Since it was a nice sunny day, I decided I would travel the few extra miles down US 15 south to US 50 and head home that way... A pleasant drive marred only by a couple of small towns with 25 MPH speed limits... but as I got a few miles south of Rt. 7, I came to an intersection and was stopped by the traffic light long enough to see the name of the cross road. It was Harmony Church Road. Harmony is one of the small towns to the left of Rt. 7 (when you are headed west) that is located on Business Rt. 7. I decided it was a great afternoon for an adventure without my GPS... I turned right and had about a 10 mile drive down that road with great scenery and even some nice twisties...

If you are riding in the Leesburg area on Rt 7, I encourage this detour. You can pick up Rt. 7 again either from Harmony, or if you stay on Business Rt. 7 a few miles further you can get back to Rt. 7 from either end of Purcellville.

Enjoy! :D

How do you get to Burke, VA using this road coming from Maryland? Oh wait... it was a pleasure ride, eh, and you saw no reason to go point to point in the shortest distance... I get it! =D>
