Skyline Drive

Spent the day riding the Skyline Drive in VA. Weather forecast was cloudy with periods of rain so traffic was very light given this was Labor Day. Toll is $10 for motorcycles. The speed limit is 35mph (a Federal traffic ticket can get expensive) so it was 3rd gear most of the way. Could not enjoy the vistas due to the fog and clouds plus many scenic overlooks are getting a facelift. Road conditions are excellent. Despite the weather conditions it was a great ride. Catch this byway in the off-season and you will have a wonderful riding experience.
