Map Side

I am proud to announce the release of the most recently updated America Rides Maps Motorcycle Pocket Map in the Blue Ridge Parkway Series – VA016; “Great Rides Near the Start of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia“. It’s taken more than a month of working on it every spare minute to bring it into the new and improved format and incorporate more than 50 additional miles of great motorcycle rides in this region. It contains more than 40 roads which either cross, connect, or lie adjacent to the north end of the Blue Ridge Parkway with detailed info, descriptions of the rides, locations of gas stations and points of interest, and more.

While I’d hoped new cartographic software would speed production times, the process of conversion from simple graphic images to fully digital representations is as laborious and meticulous as before. The benefits are recognized in the ease of future updates as well as the improved clarity that is gained. As I’m constantly updating and improving all the maps, more than a dozen which cover the Smoky Mountains from north Georgia to north Virginia, the effort is worth it. There is nothing else like America Rides Maps motorcycle pocket maps, and best of all I’ve been able to improve the maps without increasing the price, already the lowest on the market.

Description of the rides on the back of each map

I’ve sold thousands of maps and get lots of thankful emails from customers. You love them. Here’s an email I got from a professional motorcycle tour guide, someone who covers thousand of miles in the region and knows it well –

“Your maps are truly awesome.  As you know I have also ridden many miles in NC and surrounding areas laying out our Tours for Blue Strada.  Just yesterday, I was studying your “Best Roads South of GSMNP East.”  You have done riders and drivers a huge service by pointing out all the important little details along the way… I love the Red & Blue definitions of Great and Good roads..  but just looking at gas stations.. and the waterfalls locations make these maps fantastic.  (In fact, I need to get the whole set for NC and GA).  Anyone coming here to ride without a guide could do no better than to get a set of your maps and just start studying the options… of which there are so many… and making their own Tour.  I’m going to send my motorcycle renters your direction in the future… they will be better off than trying to use my Tour maps… “
