[QUOTE="Bill FJR, post: 1449196, member: 28564"] The BRP should be doable in one day. Not sure about Skyline Drive + BRP. Midweek is best, as is the window between when the kiddies go back to school and the foliage starts to color up. They removed the gas stations from the rest stops and visitors centers, so you have to get off the BRP for gas. Advance planning helps here - some stations are less than a mile off the parkway while others can be quite a distance. As others have noted, weather is a factor - particularly fog. But you’re never far from I-81 so if you need to bail and make time that option is always available. Finally, I will join the chorus of others with the opinion that this is not a particularly good way to enjoy the BRP. You will have to ride at a pace that demands a lot of attention to the road and traffic and you will have to maintain a constant lookout for wildlife and law enforcement. The experience will be akin to eating a fine meal as quickly as possible. Yes, it can be done, but at the expense of the satisfaction that would otherwise accompany the event. Good luck!. [/QUOTE]
