"Beginners Beware" - By rtcoker

Some great riding. This loop incorporates part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. But adds in 226A loop and part of the best of highway 80 from Marion up to the Blue Ridge. Nice little couple hour ride. Stop for a great sandwich at Little Switzerland. Alternate take highway 80 back down the other side to Micaville (see someone else's route planned for that). Good pavement, Often the Blue Ridge can be closed at the drop of the hat by the NPS for ice, snow, etc, even when other roads are clear and dry.
