You take 33W to Franklin, then 220 to Monteray VA, then 250 back over the mountain (and you thought 33 was twisty?), then 42 or 11 back up to H'burg. On my bike, including a break in Monteray, it takes 2 hours. I'd budget 2.5 hours. Which, in actuality, isn't that much longer than reddish knob took. There are two "official" seanic overlooks near the top of 33 and the top of 250. 250 is highly regarded as an awesome road, and it's right in our back yard.
If there turns out to be a group of folks that want to go home, and a group that wants to do the loop, I might be interested in leading the group for the rest of the loop.
Jess grew up in Monterey - and thats where we got married. It definitely is beautiful out there.. The view from the Confederate battlements (which is what I think you're talking about) is breathtaking.
Maybe we can work out lunch at the Stone Hearth in town...
