To continue my celebration of mid-summer motorcycle madness, on Thursday I will get on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Waynesboro, Virginia, and ride it 469 miles through to the southern end at Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, North Carolina.
As I go I will make hourly stops to tweet a photo and report on my progress so long as I have cell phone service.
Why not check my progress from time to time on Twitter – americaridesmap
and Facebook – facebook.com/americaridesmaps
I’m not trying to set a record or even establish a benchmark for someone to beat. The hourly stops will insure there is no record to speak of. Admittedly, it’s the worst way to experience the Blue Ridge Parkway, which should be done as slowly as possible with as many side trips as you can afford.
Still, curiosity has got the best of me, and I’ve never done it before nor heard of anyone doing it, so why not?
Follow along with me Thursday!
