Skyline Drive / BRP. Here are the broad strokes and tentative date(s). I'm still working on the last campground details and ride routes...the rest is done. FWIIW most of the riding meets the magic 100' climbing / mile eg not crushingly hard but definitely you must be fit and have some experience with it.
September 7 > September 15
9/7 > Meet at Campground near Luray. Short ride, check for loose parts
9/8 > Long ride from campground. Approx 5/6k climbing on Parkway and Valley return (6 hrs.)
9/9 > Shorter ride day. Drive to new campground near WinterGreen. Awesome drive on the Parkway (3 hrs.)
9/10 > Long Ride from camp. Hard day we will ride from the valley to the BRP and descend to the opposite valley, climb back to BRP and descend to camp. Bonus: dinner at local brewery. (6 hrs)
9/11 > Local loop, incredible sights. Shorter ride. Never easy but shorter day. (3 hrs.)
9/12 > Travel day to new campsite near Roanoke. Short ride. (2 hrs.)
9/13 > Not a huge ride into town for lunch. (4 hrs.)
9/14 > Rolling ride, all backroads. (3 hrs.)
