I have been looking forward to this morning for a very long time. Today Acie Lee Williams (aka Ace Montana) and I head out on a trip through the Eastern mountain pathways. We start this morning with the Skyline Drive in Northern Virginia, spend several days on the Blue Ridge Parkway and cap it off at the Tail of the Dragon between North Carolina and Tennessee. I have ridden these roads many times but it will be the first for Acie.

We will start off clear but will likely hit some rain on the latter half of the trip. I have it all planned out but am struggling with the GoPro camera on my bike, so I am not sure how good the images will be. I will include some pictures and videos along the way if I can work it out. While seeing my brother and niece before heading out I took some quick videos riding through some backcountry roads here in Northern Virginia. Here is a link to a 30 second version on my YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy it. I am so ready for this trip!
