Skyline Drive on October 17, 2015

We would like to plan a bike ride thru Skyline Drive on October 17 with a rain date of October 24. Thought it would be fun to go as a group.
 
The historic 105-mile Skyline Drive, a National Scenic Byway, traverses Shenandoah National Park, a beautiful, historic national treasure.

The mileposts begin with 0.0 at Front Royal and continue to 105 at the southern end of the park. The speed limit is 35 mph. It takes about three to four hours to travel the entire length of the park on a clear day. There are 75 scenic overlooks that offer stunning views of the Shenandoah Valley to the west or the rolling piedmont to the east.  While you are gazing out at the views, keep a close eye on the road too, as deer, black bear, wild turkey, and a host of other woodland animals call Shenandoah home and regularly cross Skyline Drive in their daily travels.
 
Shenandoah Motorcycle Fee is $15.00 if you do not have an Annual National Park Pass.
 
We’ll start at Front Royal, VA accessible via I-66 and Route 340 and end at Rockfish Gap, accessible via I-64 and Route 250.
