General Discussion / Re: Blue Ridge Parkway

Thanks everyone for your quick help.
I have another question?
I will rent a SUV from here in New Jersey from Hertz and drive to their drop off point in Winchester,VA it then says 13.1 miles to Front Royal on 522.
My question is this is it safe to ride down 522 into Front Royal or should I look for a shuttle/cab service or another route to Front Royal?
I want to start my ride on Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah's 
As usual thank you for your time.

 Hi Everyone,
I am going to do the Blue Ridge Parkway this year (Finally)
and my question for everyone is are there maps from ACA which contain all of the Parkway and possibly the Shenandoah's?
I guess I should have said the Shenandoah's and Blue Ridge
any way thank you for your time.

I guess I am one of the lucky one's I bought a b-67 and right out of the box it was and has been the most comfortable saddle I have ever sat on.

Did you ever end up doing this route? I'm thinking about doing it in the fall sometime (I live in central NJ) and it would be my first multi-day unsupported ride.

Hello everyone,
My first post here I think,well anyway I would like to know if anyone here has done the bicycle across New Jersey from Hight Point to Cap May 234 miles?
I would appreciate and information I can get my hands on,campsites,hotels.motels,food stops,road conditions etc:
I am thinking of attempting this trip in a few weeks.
Also if anyone would like to go with me let me know I am planning about 5 or 6 days this is my first long tour and I still need to get a front rack and Panniers.
Thank you for your time.
