Ride Report

Virginia is represented by two iconic motorcycling routes - the Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah national Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway through and along the Blue Ridge Mountains ending up in North Carolina. They are both in the general area of the Appalachians. It was slow going but well worth the route choice. I blasted out of Washington on the inter-state, camped at a place called Edinburg and then flicked onto the Skyline Drive at Thornton Gap. I'm doing a photo "walk through" below so you can do a virtual ride. Enjoy!
