I took a little trip this past weekend to meet my HD riding brother in Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains:
Quote: I've never taken a trip or done anything, really, with my brother Tim since I graduated from high school. It wasn't from malice, it's just what happened; I graduated from high school and two weeks later I was in the Coast Guard at the USCG Academy in New London, Connecticut and I never gave it any real serious thought. Lately I've come to realize that song about you'll wish you had the time back is pretty much on target. Last year he got his first bike and started riding and this summer I thought it would be a good idea to take a "Dos Hermanos" bike trip and share a little fellowship.
With that plan in mind we emailed back and forth and the weekend of July 25th popped up as a possibility. We made plans to rendezvous in Salem, VA at the Days Inn and the next day we'd tour the Blue Ridge Parkway from Roanoke to Boone and let the road guide us from there...
I got carried away and it's too long to post here so it's continued in five segments at my bike blog My Great Rides
