Spent the weekend in Luray VA and bombed up and down Skyline Dr and some surrounding roads for 3 days. WOW is about all I have. If you haven't gone you should.......
I rode it pretty fast, nothing too crazy. Very little presence. I imagine as the weather heats up and more traffic there will be more cops.The Blue Ridge Parkway and The Skyline Drive are well worth riding.
Just don't exceed the posted speed limits (35mph on the Skyline). The Feds will show no mercy and throw The Book at you.
You ain't lyingLots of Black Bears along the Skyline Dr.
We saw 3 black bears. Pretty cool. 1st 5 minutes of riding out there I had 3 deer run right in front of me. Thankfully doing speed limit and was able to brake. Saw about 10 throughout the 3 days of riding....Lots of Black Bears along the Skyline Dr.
I saw 5 one day along it.
I prefer the BRP and the Cherohala Skyway, myself
Agrered 100%. It's like $15 to get on skyline!WAY too many roads nearby that are far more fun that don't cost $$ to ride.
