One of my buddys called me on a Wednesday morning and said there was a freak stream of warm weather on the way and we should go ride the Blue Ridge Parkway from end to end. I had my 06 Road King at the time and he had a BMW so Thursday morning we were on our way and the ride and weather were perfect. We rode to Charlottesville, VA and then rode south. We kept running into stretches where the BRP was closed because of snow and ice still on the ground so we did a lot of detours and only made it as far as Blowing Rock, NC before we headed home on Saturday night. More stories than I have time to type. Memories of that half week keep me from being "Bike-less" again.

It seems the ones you "plan to the detail" are never the best.
