Sunday morning, I'll be leaving on a week-long trip from NH to TN and back. If all goes well, I'll get the chance to ride the entire length of Skyline Drive in Virginia, the Blue Ridge parkway, and some of the famous rides at the end of BRP: The Dragon, the Cherohala Skyway, and the Moonshiner to name a few.
The plan is to make it to Front Royal, Virginia in one day, then, the next day, proceed to Meadows of Dan, where I will camp at the Willville Bike Camp. Weather (and the worn-out body) permitting, I would like to reach Tellico Plains, TN by the end of the third day, and stay at the Hunt's Lodge. From there, I'll probably spend the day riding the local rides.
At this point, I'm unsure of my route back up north, but the two options I'm contemplating are either riding back towards Shenandoah via some logging/mining roads, or, if the weather does not cooperate, slab it to Cape Hatteras and continue northwards via some of the coastal routes.
Either way, I should be spending the next week alone on the bike, exploring the charming part of the country I haven't visited before. A ride report will be posted upon my safe return.

Good luck. We want to see lots of pictures when you get back.
If you're up out way, pop us a call.
That's an ambitious itinerary; if you see half of what you've planned, consider yourself lucky. I've never been out to that area and would love to go some year.
