Starting at the Ranger Station this route climbs to the Blue Ridge Parkway and follows the Parkway to Richland Balsam (highest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway) and back. Length of the route can be truncated by turning around at any point prior to Richland Balsam.

The Blue Ridge Parkway requires cyclists to ride single file, have a front facing light (bright enough for tunnels), and a red flashing rear light.

I will climb slowly and hopefully descend into a double-digit average mph (10mph would be nice). Bring enough snacks and water for the entire ride. Graveyard Fields has restrooms - 20mi and 46mi. And would be a good turn around to make the ride 40 miles.

Please RSVP and indicate full ride or shorter version.
