Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway by bicycle - June 2017




The plan for this trip was to ride bicycles from Front Royal, Virginia down past Asheville, North Carolina in eight days. The route followed Skyline Drive down to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We stayed in campgrounds, Airbnb houses and a few hotels.


The dates and places were:

Phil organized the whole tour and, when I say organized, I mean full-on CPA organization.
