I've done the Blue Ridge twice, both times self contained.Janey has gone once. If you start at the north end of Skyline Drive be prepared to climb all day!!! The book Danita mentioned is excellent but some of the restaurants/stores are closed since the book was published. Great riding though. I'll be glad to help with planning if you need some.

I did the entire Parkway in 2003, starting on the north end. I did all motels, so several spots I had to exit the parkway to ride into town. I avg. 100 miles a day. The book mentioned is good but you will need to contact places to see if they are still in business. I have a copy of the book if you would like to borrow it. The parkway is a great ride.
