Update–July 23, 2011 Peaks of Otter run

The modified plan for the Peaks of Otter run will be displayed below. I will be leaving Stephens City, at 9am and running the entire length of the Skyline Drive. I will pickup the Blue Ridge Parkway on top of Afton Mountain and then run that to Peaks of Otter. John Cassarly will be in the area since he and his wife will be camping nearby testing out their RV, so we will hookup with him for dinner and maybe some campfire chatter. I will be staying at the Peaks of Otter Lodge and then the next morning, swinging through Bedford, Smith Mountain Lake, Rocky Point, and Boones Mill. Then I will swing back to the northwest and start working my way back through the backroads of Virginia and West Virginia until I return to Stephens City, Va. If I have no riders with me, I will likely cruise around Roanoke, Va. most of the day.

Ok, if I have no riders with me Sunday morning at Peaks of Otter, I will be spending most of Sunday, 121 miles worth, riding around Rocky Mount and Boones Mill Virginia scanning for potential retirement spots. You can click on the little picture here to see most of that route if you are curious. Depending on time I finish, will determine how I will travel back to Stephens City.
