It looks like my wife and I had the same idea as 428cj did for the weekend. We decided to take an extra long weekend and head down with the bikes to Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather. Looks like the hiker we asked to take the pic was more focused on the bikes than the scenery behind us.

Hey 428cj....

Where did you start your hiking from? Did you stay in the area?

Skyline drive is a great ride. One day I'll tell you about our rain trip along Skyline Drive

Well it really wasn't raining up on the drive but we got soaking wet just being in the clouds

Are you going to OC bike week next week?

OH CRAP !!.............

I forgot all about that. I've been pulling my hair out dealing with the county inspectors. We are in the middle of doing some major home renovations / remodeling and we are trying to get the first of three inspections done. We were scheduled for Friday morning but the guy never showed. Turns out he didn't show all day. Gotta love it.

What are the OC dates again?

calm down... you have another week to prepare, Thursday 9/15 thru Sunday 9/18

Yeah, we'll be there. Most likely just as a day trip though. Either Saturday or Sunday.

Hey there Mr. Maduro, nice shot! If you really look you can even see the scenery behind the awesome bike!

We started the trail on the border of Loudoun/Clarke Counties in VA. I don't know how far it actually was to the lookout, but it took close to 30 minutes. Pretty tough hike too, but well worth it (I'm trying to recover from a bad car accident several months ago with numerous injuries, so it's probably an eaiser hike for 'normal' people). If you start there where the Trail crosses Route 7 it's on the Southern side of 7. I hope to get back when the weather is nicer, get a better shot like yours. I'm 100% certain in this particular overlook there will NOT be a Harley to distract me!
