Blue Ridge Parkway Maintenance

[Mayor_of_BBQ]

I've been along 276 several times from Waynesville to Brevard and beyond.  215 does not ring a bell, though I see it is just east of Waynesville, which means I've likely been on it.  Normally we stay in the Waynesville/Maggie area to better spend some time with family there, but this time we will be staying in Asheville to check out the food/brewery scene after some full days of riding.

215 is great, lot less traffic than 276...  276 is usually very busy with lots of cars parked on the side of the road due to Sliding Rock, Looking Glass falls, Pink Beds, and Cradle of Forestry

There's also usually a pretty decent BBQ food truck parked at the outfitters when you come to down off the parkway on 215 on the Rosman end.. Haven't ridden thru there this summer, but they were out every weekend last year

Let me throw this offer out to you guys. I live an hour from the parkway in Hillsville VA. From there north to Front Royal (skyline dr) or go south all the way up the end or maybe Cherokee NC. Anyone wanting to do the parkway are welcome to start at my house and overnight and next day I can at least ride with you to the Parkway. May save you a few bucks, you know to help pay for that 500 dollar federal speeding ticket this thread evolved to😂😂😂😂

If it is for you, then why do you persist in wasting energy on it?

Easy, you brought it up.   

Not me.

There happens to be great riding in flyover country. WV has endless curvy roads, devoid of traffic, Eastern KY, the area around red River gorge, the entire shoreline of the Ohio River is awesome. Divide Ohio using I71. East is great, West is the start of the great corn desert. There is decent riding to be found in Southern IN, and Western IL. Wisconsin has the drift less region, and kettle moraine. Northeast Ia, the sand hills in NE, the black Hills in SD.
All is not forsaken in flyover country.

I guess I was misled on what the flyover states are.  I thought they were the huge farm states.  Where the farms are measured in square miles and the road are like grids.  I would not have though WV or KY would be included in flyover states. 

Of course there are small areas of each of those states where they consider the riding supreme.  :)

No complaints from me.  I have plenty of time to ride and post, thank you.

Don't think we conversed before, hello Mike.
