Blue Ridge Trail

The BRT is a route that runs from Front Royal, Virginia all the way to North Carolina. The route is made up of small back country roads, dirt roads, forest roads, two tracks and maybe even the occasional bit of single track, who knows. The route was put together by a guy on ADV and you can read about it and see some pics here: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=701249

A few of us plan to take a week and run this route from 7/21 to 7/28. We will take 4 or 5 days to reach NC and then a couple of days to run up the BRP and home. If anyone would like to join us, for all or even just some of this adventure; the more the merrier…

I've pretty much wore out my calender for multi-day trips for a while. But I'm interested and would love to hear your ride report and opinion on it. Sounds like something I'd like to do inthe future.

Skinny-J if possible I would maybe like to ride the first part of the BRT with you from Front Royal , is there a easy sport say 30-50 miles from the start where I could make a run back to the main road to head back to MD ?

Hi Gene,

You are welcome to join us for what ever portion you can. At the end of Day 1 we hope to end up in Franklin, WV. Shoot me your e-mail and I will send you our route files and let's see what we can figure out...

I think I might be able to ride to Franklin then ride 3 hours home, depending on what time you come thru Point of Rocks ?

Wow. That looks like a great trip. I am lucky to get out for one day right now, much less a week. Enjoy it for me!
