August 2011—Blue Ridge and Wing Ding

Off we go again, this time on the Honda Gold Wing with our friends, Randy and Donna, to attend the Honda Wing Ding event held in Knoxville, Tn.  The plan is to go via the Blue Ridge Parkway, all 467 miles of it, winding up in Knoxville.

Ready to hit the road

Our routing took us through W. Va into Virginia and entering the BRP at Lexington, Va.  Our first night was spent at Charleston, WV and the second at Roanoke, Va.

The weather started out great, however as time passed the weather worsened…providing us with several torrential downpours while on the bikes.  Several days were spent in the rainsuits.

However this was all “part of the adventure” and even though somewhat uncomfortable, still a wonderful ride.

Just a few of the Honda bikes present, reported to be around 15,000 in attendance.  Very informative and organized event.

Spent a total of nine days on the road.Lookout for the Ship!

Great time was had by all.
