Title: Skyline Drive

State: Virginia

Submitted By: "V-Twin Rider"

Date Submitted: Jul 05

Motorcycle Type: Honda RC51

Motorcycle Road Length: 105 Miles

Motorcycle Road Scenery:

You'll be riding through the beautiful Shenandoah National Park and see great mountain views and wildlife like deer and an occasional black bear … but you'd better pay attention to the road as its loaded with turns!

Motorcycle Road Quality:

It's 105 miles of twisty mountain roads....all smooth, clean road. Speed limit is only 35 mph due to the wilderness and mountains. You may reach 50mph but even at 35 it's very relaxing and enjoyable. Note: it can be damp in the morning from the elevation of the mountains.

Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:

Camping....hiking...sightseeing throughout Shenandoah National Park. Plenty of places to pull over, stretch the legs, and take in the beautiful views.

Directions:

Skyline drive begins in Front Royal, VA which is about 80 miles west of Washington DC. Just hop on Skyline drive and take it south all the way through the Shenandoah National Park ... the end point is basically the town of Waynesboro, VA.

From there you can either turn around and do this awesome road again or you could conveniently continue right on to the Blue Ridge Parkway (… another fantastic road!).

Great road! Took your advice and went for the ride and it was every bit as enjoyable as was described, although I found the most fun part of the ride this road called 211 which comes right down the side of the mountain and for a sport bike is definitely alot of fun!
