We did a couple of 400 mile days, at 45 mph speed limit that's a long day.
Over 400 miles was in in rain or fog or both.

The bike ran fine.

Blue Ridge Parkway-Skyline Drive 1415 miles 4 days

That must have been some trip. We started at the Front Royal entrance to the Skyline and drove all the way down to Cherokee, joining the Blue Ridge Parkway at Waynesboro. We took it slow and had overnight stops at Charlottesville, Roanoake, Boone and Asheville. We hit some bad fog in Boone, loved Blowing Rock. Plenty of temperature variations along the way, from 32F on some of the tops and up to 78F lower down.

Did the trip in the fall, brilliant colours. Would love to do it on a bike.

Hoping to visit the USA again this fall. Thinking of Yellowstone and then possibly Nashville.

By the way, excellent photos!
