General Discussion / Recommendations for Touring Bike / Blue Ridge Parkway / Senior Rider

« on: May 01, 2020, 08:18:25 am »

I live near the start of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. I'm interested in riding this in segments, going south. I have a road bike, but think having a touring bike will be the better option. I'd appreciate receiving recommendations either about specific touring bikes to consider getting or just what to look for in shopping for one. Used or new, either way. However, I'd definitely like something that's got the gears to get me up some of the steep and long hills south of here. Thanks.
