Rides.

So, I've been coming to the Blue Ridge Parkway for years, and it's obviously great. I'm a big fan of Deals Gap etc. I stumbled on highway 311 and some roads in WV. But seriously - where do you all ride around here??

Someone mentioned Tuggles Gap, but other than riding by on the BRP I dont know about it. School me.

Get off I81 South at the Ironto exit and head towards Blacksburg through Ellett Valley is a nice ride.Once you get in Blacksburg hit 460 west and go up to Mountain Lake

get off the parkway at tuggles gap go down rt 8 down woolwine mtn just watch the middle curve c an suprise u.

My wife and I like to go 581 to 81 s to 311 ... go to paint bank ( swinging bridge ) for lunch or dinner then continue out to Covington onto I64 W to 220 south... back to Roanoke ... its right @ 160 miles but relaxing ride ...

Don't miss out on this ride, going over Potts Mountain is a blast to ride and definitely stop at the swiggin bridge for breakfast, lunch , or dinner, bike stop! You can also take a left at the swingin bridge and ride down Big stoney creek all the way back to Pearisburg, then take 460 back to Christiansburg and back toward Roanoke.
