Day 2 - Angry Clouds and Fatigue

The best laid plans are often cast aside. I had the best of intentions of writing once I got back to my motel room after dinner but apparently riding my Mighty DR takes it out of me more than I realized as I woke up face down on the bed some hours later hands and face quite swollen.  I contemplated getting up and writing only to roll over and go back to sleep and sleep until the morning. Checkout time is in 15 or so minutes so I have to make this brief. View from the Blue Ridge(http ...Read More

My Favorite Spot on the Blue Ridge

My Favorite Spot on the Blue Ridge

It's a bit of a walk but from the Viaduct parking area you can follow a trail and scramble on top of a huge boulder that looks down on the Viaduct.

Turned 100K on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Turned 100K on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

My bike turned 100K miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway while riding with the same two guys I was riding with when I bought it 22 years ago.

99999 just as I rolled up to the Parkway in June 2014

99999 just as I rolled up to the Parkway in June 2014

"How cool would it be if you turned 100,000 on the Parkway?" Duncan had asked. By sheer coincidence my bike turned 99,999 just as we rolled up to the parkway. 22 years earlier, when I just got the bike, I rode across the country with Duncan to go meet Bruce. Here I was, 22 years later, riding with the same two guys. Awesome.

Northern End of the Blue Ridge Parkway

Northern End of the Blue Ridge Parkway

This is the northernmost point on the Blue Ridge Parkway. North of it is Skyline Drive which must be avoided at all costs. Only pain, frustration, and 5mph Winnebagoes await you there.

The Blue Ridge Parkway

The Blue Ridge Parkway

468 miles of some of the best riding in the country if not the world. This is one of my top two all time favorite roads in the country. During May we've had 80 mile stretches in the middle of the day where we didn't encounter a single car. It's simply a beautiful ride. Rolling in sections, twisty in others, incredibly scenic in yet others.

99,999 and the Blue Ridge Parkway

Coincidentally, the bike hit 99,999 just as we rolled up to the southern section of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It seemed strangely fitting.
