At about the same that I toured on Blue Ridge Parkway last year, I decided to ride skyline drive this year. Skyline starts in Shenandoah National Forest and runs a little over 100 miles through the blue ridge mountains. The two roads meet up outside of Afton, VA. The entire ride ended up being about 250 miles from Twin Oaks and back. The ride on skyline was pretty similar to the parkway, but not quite as painful (still painful though).
Camp on the first night after 110 miles including 6 miles at the end that included about 3 miles with a 1000 ft altitude gain.
Typical scene on the drive.
Typical view on the drive.
I end where you begin. The bike at this year's end point and
last year's start point.
Ok, so people are probably more interested in Twin Oaks.
Ok, so I'm taking pictures today of the community and will post in the next few days.
You did this alone?! How long did it take? And you call that a tent? Was it crazy - did you hear a bunch of animals, etc?
