The Blue Ridge Parkway is a road that follows the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Appalach

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a road that follows the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Appalachians, almost 800kms; It starts china imports at Shenandoha National Park to the north and ends at the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in the south. I followed him for about 400kms china imports on the highest part of the course, and it was really beautiful. Few cars, no trucks, and beautiful landscapes. Ribs, but not too violent (max 8%). By cons sometimes a bit long (3 or 4 kms) or very long. For example arriving china imports in Asheville from the north, there is a descent china imports (thus a rise in the other direction!) Of more than 25 km (depending on the location of Asheville where we are going) to about 1300 m elevation. Similarly, starting from Asheville South, there are more than 800 m in altitude, climbing this time. Same, I left the BRP by road 215, 15 Kms downhill china imports and 1000 m (memory) china imports in altitude. The information for potential cyclists who tomberairent on my blog. Personally, I'm china imports interested that kind of information to provide a minimum my day, the number of miles that I may do (so I may sleep, if I have to refuel me water, food), and if I will "suffer" or not! As a guide: 6 km of 7 or 8% rise it can take an hour if you go, if you go down 8 min ... If we have that several times a day in the same direction, it changes the average .. . Figures:
The forests are inhabited by (among others) by bears. So at night it is advisable not to leave any food in the tent, and suspend food bags. Far enough away from the trunk so that the greedy can not bear even by climbing the tree, Trap for:
A team of friendly cyclists (from 3, 2 at the end because of injury) that made the entire BRP. Nice equipment, but few kms per day, nights in the hotel, and pick-up assistance with a spare bike, strength and cool drinks. In their eyes, I passed for an alien with all my furbished!
