Well my trip is over ( bummer ) made it home Sunday night safe and sound , I had 2 close calls 1 on the Blue Ridge parkway & 1 on the Tail of the Dragon but thats another story. After logging 2300 mile of great riding I would recommend the trip to anyone who loves a great road trip . I started the trip from the north at the entrance of Shenandoha NP which has 104 mile of great riding and the views were fantastic & it just gets better from there the BRPW is a great road and the scenery just gets better as I headed south for the complete 469 miles of the parkway . I did the Tail of the Dragon which is closed at the rock slide but from the NC side you can do about 10 miles of the dragon and the turn around and go back . I think the Dragon is a tourist trap and I was not that impressed JMO , I then did the Cherohalla Parkway and that is a great ride also . I can see why so many love to take a ride on the parkway it has so much to offer besides the scenery what I was impressed about was that there was not 1 stop light or stop sign on the BRPW so I only had to stop when I wanted to take a picture . I plan on doing this trip again & I would like to do it in the fall when the trees are in color , I will plan on taking a longer trip if I can .
