As RVers, we often pick our destinations by looking at a state map and look for areas where the roads DON'T run straight. We currently are a small town called Big Stone Gap, VA. At the risk of sounding like a regional tourist bureau, you can't believe this place. The weather has been good up to now (rain today), the roads are in excellent shape overall and the riding is just constant left, right up,down. I have been riding for many years and this is as good as I have ever experienced it. With a little hunting, there is lots of history of the coal industry to see and several regional museums near. Tomorrow we are going to a regional history museum here in town.
We have been averaging rides of 60 to 90 miles on each of our rides and that makes a great day and home by 3. As I have that beautiful 998 engine, I have been riding these roads in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. That engine is just perfect for this kind of riding.
If any of you are looking for a riding destination for this fall or next year that will give your arms a workout, come down to southwest Virginia. I promise you won't be disappointed.
