Fulks Run to Oak Flat loop

A nice loop from Fulks Run, VA on Little Dry River Road and Rough Run Road over the mountain to Oak Flat an back across US-33.
NOTE: Little Dry River Road and Rough Run Road to route 3 is gravel forrest road with several water crossings. Easy for dirt bikes. Moderate difficulty on large adventure bikes (challenging with street tires). Would be difficult on street/sport bikes. This section is not recommended for inexperienced riders.

  oh man, thanks for this. I don't think I've ever noticed Dry River Run road before. That looks pretty cool. Do you have any photos from it?

  Updated map to indicate the dirt/gravel section of Little Dry River Road and Rough Run Road to route 3. Tried to upload some photos of this section, but they don't seem to be showing up on the map. There were about a half dozen stream crossings on Rough Run Road when I came through on a rainy day (5 May 2018). No problem on the KTM 1290SA, but I wouldn't ride my beemer (K1200GT) or any other street bike on this section. Would be great fun on a small dirt bike!

  I had to head down to Fort Lewis and thought it might make for a nice route down to avoid the superslab. In the middle of the unpaved section near the top my radiator fan stopped working. So I'd have to let it cool down then ride it a mile or so and let it cool down again. At the top I realized I could just roll it down the hill. That was over two miles of gravel road with the engine off. A first for me.
  
  I'll have to check out what's wrong with the map. The unpaved section doesn't seem to be showing.

  FWIW, Country Road 3 heading North up to Moorefield is a good road. Heading the other way if you travel far enough South towards Fort Lewis you'll come on a 25 miles or so road, Bull Pasture Road, which is excellent.
