Routes / Suggestions about getting in and out the BlueRidge

« on: December 30, 2008, 07:48:15 am »

While doing the ACA Atlantic coast, I want to make the Blue Ridge as a fun detour. I found this bike path from Washington to Purcellville. So, I need advice to continue from there to Front Royal.

I also found an itinary along the South Carolina/Georgia line. I need to get from Balsam (near Cherokee) to Highland to take the road 28.

I could "Goggle Earthed" it but I would appreciate the experienced tourer point of view (shoulders, less traffic). Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Routes / La Route Verte

I agree with you Geeg. I live in the Gaspé peninsula and the infrastructures are unremarquable for cycling. I would never make a tour here. Shoulders are rare on the north side and drivers are not as cooperative as what I experienced in the States. I presume that the adding of Gaspésie in the Route Verte network was just a political and marketing trick to be able to announce a network covering the province. The eastern part cannot be compare to Lac-St-Jean or Estrie.
