Managed to get out for a little riding both Sat and Sun.
I headed out on the ST1300 to ride some of my familiar stomping grounds.
At my first stop on Sat I saw a pair of unusual bikes:
Am I the only one that didn't know Husqvarna made motorcycles?
From there I rode my favorite mountain in the area:
Snowden Mountain is just plain fun!
I made 4 passes back and forth across it until the brakes were so hot and faded that I couldn't do it anymore.
After moving on I took a little River Road diversion:
The structure behind the bike is a river lock from the 1700's.
From there I headed to ride one of the most scenic roads in VA.
SR 39 from Lexington, VA to Goshen, VA.
I took a little detour to get a pic in front of this old store:
Here is a screenshot from the War of The Worlds movie with Tom Cruise, this is the same store:
The Maury River was running pretty strong:
In Goshen I decided to check out this old bridge, it turns out that it was built in 1890:
I took a leisurely ride along SR 42 and US 220 on the way home.
A friend and I had plans to go for a ride after church on Sunday so I rode.
On the way to church I picked up an unexpected passenger:
After church we hit the twisties criss crossing back and forth along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This is the view from the Visitor's Center at the top of Afton Mountain:
We rode the BRP from it's beginning @ MM 0 back to Roanoke.
Raven's Roost Overlook:
WigWam Falls @ MM 34:
The weather was perfect and it was nice to get in some much needed Wind Therapy.
