Started the ride heading West across Southern Pennsylvania on a couple of secondary roads providing minimal traffic and great scenery. Rode through an area with an abundance of apple orchards and the apple harvest was in progress.
Headed South into the Eastern portion of West Virginia and then into Virginia picking up the Blue Ridge Parkway at Waynesboro following it 115 miles south to Roanoke.
Very few vehicles on the parkway making it a relaxing ride.
Leaves were just beginning to turn in some areas but was a little early for the fall colors.
Great views from different stops along the way.
Overall a beautiful ride but the 45 mph National Park speed limit for the 115 miles does take away from what it could be and therefore will probably take a pass on riding the southern portion of the Parkway.

We are all enjoying your daily posts! So sorry I missed your “day” in New England as you seemed to blow through it pretty quickly! Don’t you love how you can go through six states in a day?? Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful – enjoy your ride tomorrow wherever it takes you!

Thanks Susan! This trip has been great for me – I find that some days it is late afternoon before I realize I have a personal email, text or missed call on my cell from the previous evening.

Probably not this trip. Working on getting back home by the end of the Weekend so I can get some new tires and probably change the brake pads before heading to the West Coast later next week. Take care

Enjoying your daily posts John! Nice that you are able to see the change of colors on the trees. Soon we may have red trees if we get enough rain with cool temps.
All the best.
