This video clip was taken during our Virginia fall vacation on October 5, 2007. After three full days of out-of-town excursions we decided to relax and take it easy for a change. In the afternoon I rented a mountain bike at the Massanutten Resort and cycled up into the hills surrounding the resort. After a solid 50 minutes of sweat-inducing exertion I finally arrived at the top of the mountain ridge. There is a great lookout area on top of the mountains on the west side of the resort and I had a great view into the eastern portion of the Shenandoah Valley. Massanutten is a four-season destination that offers 14 ski runs with a vertical drop of 1110 feet. The resort also features two golf courses and a driving range as well as a water park. I amactually a travel writer who loves to explore international destinations as well as my chosen home town of Toronto.
