Blue Ridge Parkway trip.....
....on my new F6B. (BTW, I had been posting the last couple of weeks and was "erased", but here I'm back...). So, taking the auto train up from Fla, to near DC, going west to start at the Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park area and taking a week going south, through the Dragon, and back to FL. Planning this trip for mid-June. Anyone with observations about weather, tips for things to avoid, or anything that can help me and my group plan the trip would be appreciated.
A few things to keep in mind
Even in June, riding the mountains can and will get cold especially in the morning. I have ridden the BRP from one end to the other in late June and it never got out of the 60s.
About 30 miles before you get to Asheville, NC on the BRP, exit on Highway 80 toward Marion, NC. It is also a nice little town to stay and lots of motels and restaurants. The ride on US 80 is the best kept secret in the Smokey Mountains and I have never seen it crowded and it is a lot more fun than the Dragon. Trust me on this one.
