Northeast local forum would probably be the best place for this, but while I'm here...

Tons of good roads in the area. 116, can be a little crowded at times, but still a good road. 501, hell of a fun road, but a little north of you. Northfork Rd (IIRC, is a freaking awesome road. You are at one of the boring parts of the Skyline drive, but go north or south and it gets fun. I run through there once in a while, and nothing but good roads.

I might be around that area in one of the up coming near future weekends. I am going to ride into virginia for the sole purpose to ride 33 from harrisonburg to seneca, wv

I used to live in Lynchburg and I always went off on the parkway.

I am only an hour away Let me me know something

[lay'dbackkat]

yea i've been on the parkway a lot lately i'm looking for something more towards twisties, i'm not sure if yall have headed from roanoke to floyd on rt. 221 *bent mountain, but something like that.

Last time I was on 221, it was crowded and overpopulated with LEO's. I look at the map and see nothing but great rides, I just can't remember any of the old loops. Most of those were out of Bburg anyway though.

Other notes, You're less than 6 hours from Deal's Gap/Cherohala Skyway. Would make for a nice 3-4 day trip.

yea Deal's Gap is definatley on my to do list, i'm hoping to cross it off by the end of this month, i dont know if i can make it down there before the tourist go sight seeing with the fall colors comin in.

Well, you could always ride up here to bluefield va, and hit the Big walker mountain by-way, its laid out with nothing but twisties, no break from start to finish. Could ride down near tazwell va, take a left at the Crab Orchard meseum and ride Thompson Valley (aka Frog Level) its a beautiful ride with one curve after another and decent road (watch for deer). Im less then 2 hours from roanoke, hit me up, I always just about have someplace to ride, or people to ride with that would be worth you making the trip.
