midnite Posted January 3, 2010 #1 Posted January 3, 2010 We are planning on being in Oberlin for Maint. day this year. After we are taking the week off to ride on over to Va. and ride Shenandoah Valley down Blueridge Parkway, to Smokies, maybe down into Alabama. Any suggestions on where to stop, eat, places to see ????:confused24:Look forward to seeing and riding with some of the members from those areas.
Yammer Dan Posted January 3, 2010 #2 Posted January 3, 2010 Sounds like a good plan. My leg is finally getting to where I can go on it if I can ignore the pain. Going to do a lot more next year. Got a few days needed on "Ugly" if it would warm up a little to get her right so she can handle some thing that need taken care of... And she will be ready!!!

RandyR Posted January 3, 2010 #9 Posted January 3, 2010 When you get to the southern end of the Blueridge Pkwy, just keep going another 2 hours and you'll be at my place. Lots of places to ride. Then you could go to MD with the Atlanta area bunch.
painterman67 Posted January 4, 2010 #10 Posted January 4, 2010 Hey midnite, We ( the better half of my marraige and myself) just may try to hook up with you at maintenence day. We were planning to extend our ride down the skyline and blue ridge parkway. If you dont mind company we may try to tag along. ANd if it cant be arranged maybe we can meet up somehwere in the Blue ridge at least for a ride as parts of the blue ridge are no more than an hour from my house. Good luck on your ride either way. David just an after thought , If you get down in our area of NC and need a place to stay look us up. YOu can either PM, email or call me . all my info is my profile.
