I enjoyed lunch yesterday with Houck Medford from the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. He’s a great guy with ties to Waynesville – where I live. We talked about the Blue Ridge Parkway of course, as well as local hiking and motorcycle related subjects. Houck had seen my post about my “Blue Ridge Parkway in a Day” motorcycle ride, and sent me my End-to-End Rider packet. It contained a nice certificate, a pin, a decal for my bike, info and stories. I was impressed and glad to have it.
If you’ve made an end-to-end ride of the Blue Ridge Parkway you too can get your package by filling out the form here – http://brpfoundation.org/end-to-end/ . Leave your story, read of others travels, the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation web site has a lot of good info.
Ok, so the pin is not what you’d call “hefty bling”, though North Carolina motorcycle riders and Blue Ridge Parkway enthusiasts can get a Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation license plate for your ride and/or car and help support the good work of the foundation. It’s so easy, you do it online right from this link –http://brpfoundation.org/tag-program/
Houck wants you to help support the Parkway, share your stories and enthusiasm, and has given me a supply of end-to-end Blue Ridge Parkway rider decals which I’ll be shipping with every Blue Ridge Parkway Series map order as a bonus for as long as they last.
Hmm, Jackie’s bike is due, this might just make a very nice gift!
Show you appreciation at http://brpfoundation.org/
PS – don’t leave home without your America Rides Maps – ride the Blue Ridge Parkway and much, much more. Free decals with orders.
