I wanted to check out this overlook prior to riding back home from the camping trip with Box Of Chox ADV. I had to wear my rain gear for close to 3 hours....still a fun ride!

Be safe out there.

    Rain rides are fun sometimes eh. The views on that ride were amazing. The way the mountainside contrasted against the clouds in the distance was stunning. Its so great when you get to experience these little surprise views on the bike.
  • @markmundy3435
    Even in the rain, a nice ride is still a nice day on the bike...
  • @advphilnb
    Sweet views, what a treat! That looked like such a fun and impressive ride, good thing you have good rain gear! Thanks for sharing, and keep well!

    I remember that turn and Overlook. Just beautiful down there. Rain or no rain , the blue ridge is amazing.
  • I agree bro. That is a gorgeous road. Must be sketchy in a heavy downpour 😳
  • The urge to look around up there is likely one reason the speed limit is never higher than 45! I rode a good bit of the BRP in VA a while back (Hillsville to its northern terminus), the "spiral curve" signs cracked me up (where the road does about a 270 or so around the shoulder of a mountain and then reverses), funniest directional arrows imaginable until I rode across Smoky Mtn. National Park and saw the full loop on that road! Stopping to put on rain gear mid ride is always fun, isn't it? Late June I was up in PA, wasn't wearing rain gear on the way up, ran into some light showers while hunting covered bridges, not enough to bother with the rain gear though. Turned around when I saw heavier rain ahead so I missed a couple. Later ran into steady heavier rain, came across a car wash/laundromat with a nice overhang, put on the rain suit, half hour later the road was bone dry but I kept it on, crossed the Susquehanna and ran into more steady rain. On the way home I was delayed by a mechanical issue, changed routes when I saw likely rain the direction I'd planned to go, then came over a rise and saw a shower falling on the other side of the valley. Thought it didn't look like much, didn't put the rain suit on. So of course there was a heavy shower in the middle of it. Figured what the hell, half hour in the wind I'd dry out anyway. Storms brewing around Harrisburg though, rain gear went back on, good choice there, several trees down along 15 near Gettysburg, thankfully I missed the heavy stuff!

    That map was cool. I see you took the scenic route. I will be going back to that area again that is for sure. Great camping with you again bud. Looking forward to more trips in the future.
  • @SeniorHiker77
    Gotta love the mountains unless you climbing one of them. Lol 👌 Gotta love the Relive app.
  • Lol reminds me of my trip. Rain gear on rain stops. Rain gear off rain starts back up. Oh well leave rain gear on indefinitely. Lol. Looked like a beautiful ride.
  • Looks like a great ride whether rain or shine, it's been too long since I've been to the Parkway 😊✌
  • @pinkiewerewolf
    The Parkway is gorgeous! Iit sprinkled this morning where I had to use the wipers on the RAV. Needed to haul some groceries after work. It felt so good just to have that lil sprinkle. It has been what I"d consider hot here along the Nor-Cal Coast, you know, high 70's, low 80's. lol
  • @RandysRides
    Any more stuff on that thing and you'll need a trailer !! :P Cool app. Hope you had a great time camping. :) :)
  • Hello and good video. Very interesting and really enjoyed watching and subbed you. Thanks Steve 👍
