I'm a member of the end to ender club and have rode it end to end in both directions many times.
(Due to the extreme mountain road conditions, weather, wildlife, etc. it takes more than a day to ride in one direction)
If you think 469 miles of mountain roads doesnt sound like much, you have no clue as to the challenge you are about to face.
To be honest, as close as I can calculate, I've done more than 20k miles on the SV just on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I can pretty much look at any picture of the Parkway and then locate it on a map and give you the nearest milepost number and tell you about where It's located. LOL
Thinking of doing an end to end ride again this year.
If you document the trip and send the info in they will send you a certificate and a bunch of stickers.
I'm getting low on the stickers, so...
It's always more than just a ride though.
It only takes a couple of hundred miles on the Parkway to become an epic adventure, every time.
No one ever rode the BRP and said they had a normal day riding.
