Back in the beginning of the year, @
Spaghetti Legs sent out an email to the usual suspects titled "Bustin' out in 2021", anticipating vaccines, ability to travel, etc. sometime in the late Spring/early summer around the Commonwealth of Virginia (Hugh lives in Charlottesville). Sending us pics of rides in his beautiful area made us all want to go. At some point nearly 10 people showed interest, one by one some dropped out for various reasons, finally we solidified the list.

Andrew and Mark flew in from Portland, OR to D.C. on a Saturday, Neal took an overnight train from Bostonto D.C., Doc lives in suburban D.C., we took two days to ride to Charlottesville, from there we rode 3 days up in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Key to doing this:
In spite of the heat and humidty, we had a great time.
I'll kick off this thread, my cohorts will add more pics, details, and personal experiences. Some bikes were C&V, others not so much, but we all shared that common interest.
