1 day to get to Front Royal. 2 additional days for the BRP to Little Switz.



As Trip said... it's a long haul due to speeds. It's only like 440 miles from Front Royal but it's 13 hrs or somin. Include scenic stops... it will take 2 days.

So... we need to be in Little Switz by Friday...

Leave my house Wed. Front Royal wed night. Start BRP thur.. arrive at Little Switz Fri evening.
Ok. I probably won't know if I can do the whole BRP until early to mid-Sept. Even if I can do the whole thing, I'd have to leave about 8pm Wed night and get as far as I can, then stop and sleep for a bit, then get going early in the morning, which means I prob wouldn't get to Front Royal until maybe as late as noon Thursday. Not sure if that would be acceptable for you or not, but it's the only possible way I could do it, as Front Royal is over 12 hours from my place.

As much as I'd like to do the whole BRP, I might have to skip some of it and meet you somewhere along the way on Thursday so that you can start out earlier. We'll likely just have to wait and see what my class schedule is like.

Might work out better to just figure out where you're staying Thurs night, then I could just leave Thurs morn and meet you that night. Of course, this could all be moot if my class schedule won't allow me to get on the road on Thurs.

Unless you plan on doing the End 2 End ride and going all the way to Cherokee when you leave Little Switzerland, skip the Virginia portion of the BRP. It's boring. NC BRP is 1000x better.

True... and I rarely ever pre-plan my stops... cause you just never know if you don't make time or have a break down or whatever.

I don't plan on riding back to Cherokee during the rally. I have to do that on the way home. There are too many good roads/stuff I want to do there besides go back towards home.

right now, it's more about time off... I've taken over the early shift (0200-1400) and it's just hard to get someone to cover for an extended period of time... especially since I've got the warrior run the weekend prior.

if it ever stops raining, i'm gonna pull the motor from the DRZ, bring it in and start cleaning what I can. gonna order the Service manual on the 1st, and order parts as needed.

So you're taking the BRP SW to the other end (Ravensford)? If so we will follow. Thinking of staying at my friends in Maryville.

My return trip on Google
