[QUOTE="FJR Flyer, post: 1357380, member: 15692"] I've done Memphis to home (east of DC) in about 15 hours (included some snow in the mountains). Nashville to DC will be a challenge for those riders, from what you've said, but not impossible. Metro in DC is the way to go. Not as reliable as it once was, but still your best option. DC rush hour starts building early. More so on a Friday, so Monday shouldn't be too bad. But if you get out after 3 you will surely be screwed. You can take 66 west out to Front Royal and pick up Skyline drive. Only downside is the 35 mph speed limit on Skyline. Fort Valley Rd through the George Washing Nat'l Forest is pretty good, too, but will take you off the beaten path. Lot of good back roads through VA to the Blue Ridge. The Snake is a great ride. Stop at the Shady Valley Country Store, they are rider friendly. If you take 133 out of Shady Valley to Damascus, VA, there are some great sweepers along the way. [/QUOTE]
