Veterans Day Ride to the summit of Mount Mitchell

Post by David (N. Alabama) »

Had a great ride! There are some amazing roads in the mountains that are not on the normal motorcycle tourist destinations.



Many of the roads had posted speed limits of 55 MPH and I was wondering who could possibly drive/ride them at that speed!

Had to be watchful of black ice in some of the shady areas.

Image

A lot of the Blue Ridge Parkway was closed due to weather but a section that lead up to Mount Mitchel was open on Saturday. Love the BRP.

Image

The approach road to the summit of Mount Mitchel was a little Sketchy.

Image

but the view was worth it.

Image

I also stopped a other overlooks, but with the shorter daylight hours I didn't want to linger too long.

Image

I also rode the Foothills Parkway on my way too the mountains. There was still some fall colors around.

Image

Also found some curvy roads on my way home.
