Johnny, Pam, Mark, Steve, Joe and I made it to the Blue Ridge Bike Fest today in Roanoke, VA. Started off as a very cold morning, 33 degrees in Powhatan! So it was heated gear, heavy gloves, chaps and head/neck warmers! Left the parking lot of McDonalds in Amelia around 8:30 am and arrived
back at 8:00 pm. Not a cloud in the sky all day. In the afternoon it was a very pleasant 74 degrees and all the heavy clothes were shed. We stopped at Lynchburg HD, Roanoke HD and Christiansburg HD to get our tourbook stamps and trip tickets. The Bike Fest at the Roanoke Civic Center was OK. Not many bikes in the bike show but they had some very nice unique ones. The vendors were the normal bike show vendors. We had lunch at the show. Johnny & Pam got to meet with their daughter at the Christiansburg HD shop too for a few minutes. Did run into a "traffic jam" on US 460 coming into Lynchburg on the way back. Took a very pleasant detour though some beautiful countryside even crossing a single lane wooden bridge. Ended up on US 221 then US 501 and back on the other side of the jam on US 460. Overall a beautiful day of riding with a great group of folks!!
