I've done the section past Grandfather Mountain, the viaduct and down into Blowing Rock. I was going to ride from the US Capital to my home in suburban Atlanta back in 2005 but life got in the way.

User @merlinextraligh did it August 2017. https://www.bikeforums.net/touring/1...ve-thread.html

7 days is correct. I had ridden most of the Parkway doing various rides over the years but not end to end. We stayed at my daughters house in Boone on the next to last night and then my wife’s sisters house in Asheville the last night. The sights on that section of the last day are outstanding. We also discovered a small town in Va called Floyd. Fun place!
