[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1449036, member: 13598"] Technically it can be done if you speed just a little during the week and you take meals and drink with you. This time of year it starts getting a little crowded on the weekends as folks are enjoying the start of Leaf Peeping season and the cooler weather for hiking. Places to stop are few and far between and just getting refueled can be a 30-45 minute detour. Curves and wildlife are not an issue. For most of it north of Asheville, NC you can set a cruise and ramble on. South of there and it gets curvier and can slow you down some. To me, it kinda defeats the purpose to consider this one of my "ride it just to say I did" roads. YMMV but I consider the BRP to be: A) not a road to travel to get from A to B, and 2) definitely a road to stop often and admire the views and see the sights. There are interesting overviews, markers, old buildings, etc. along the way to be enjoyed. I'd be wasting a good opportunity to chill for 2 days and enjoy the leisurely ride for a change. If you want to ride twisties or tear up the road a bit then IMHO the BRP is not the place to be. [/QUOTE]
