[QUOTE="NHredliner, post: 1431752, member: 87306"] Looking to ride some of the best that the area has to offer. I have only ridden the NE and mostly all over NH, VT and ME so this is "bucket list" stuff for me! Plus picking up my 2nd FJR a 2015es is really exciting! Have an old friend that I was going to stay with in Asheville and he just bailed on me so I am putting together my camping gear and hoping for decent weather. In my research I have found several campgrounds along or near the BRP that are only for motorcyclists and $15/night for tentsites. Seems reasonable enough to me. A few concerns I have are the heat and getting stuck in really bad rain. In the case of the latter I would probably hunker down in a motel. Really trying not to spend a bunch of money on lodging unless I absolutely need to. Mostly I just need a shower and decent food. Living in NH we don't often get too hot but recently I have ridden a few days in the low to mid 90's and even stopping for gas or construction was pretty oppressive. I do always wear boots, jacket, gloves and helmet. Recently I got a mesh jacket and I have a neotec helmet and when it is that hot I just ride with it open. Hope to pick up the bike next Tuesday and head west for at least 3 or 4 days and then north into VA. Thinking I could camp in VA for a night and PA for a night and then head to my folks house in upstate NY and a few days there before heading home. I have only fidden a few 300 mile days this season so I probably won't want to push it much beyond that and really hope to avoid the slab as much as possible unless I really feel a need to make time. Appreciate any input/ advice. Maybe connect for some riding with anyone in the area who is available? [/QUOTE]
