We made it! We rode the full 465 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway in 12 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BRP-24.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5490\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BRP-24.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BRP-24-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BRP-24-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The official sign that welcomes visitors at the northern end of the Parkway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But that didn&#8217;t mean we were done riding. From the Parkway to Charlottesville was another 20 miles connected only by busy highways. We had no choice but to ride on an often shoulder less highway with cars swooshing by. Lucky for us we had a sweet tailwind to help push us quickly along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our final night in Charlottesville we got all decadent. We stayed at an Airbnb and ate at a fancy pizza place called Lampo. It was delicious. Our Airbnb host Bill was too kind. He made me some smooth gin and tonics and we played a board game together. It was a fun way to end the trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To get back from our campground to the Parkway in the morning we had to climb a series of super steep hills.
