Need a Route, Alexandria to Blacksburg - mpg9999 - 08-05-2006

I came home this weekend to pick up my motorcycle. Tommorow morning I need to ride it back down. I was thinking about taking a bit more scenic route then the standard 66 to 81. The only catch is I don't want to add more then about an hour or so to ride time (normal is 4 hours, so about 5. 6 at the absolute most). Can anyone suggest a route?

Hrmm. Rt 29s is a beautiful road now, and 65mph. It's great in a car, at least. Then hit 460e all the way to roanoke - can then bypass roanoke, or keep on it, take 460 up christiansburg mountain..etc etc

oh yeah, and 29 has like NO traffic

you could parallel 81 on 11...

29 --> 211 --> Skyline Drive --> Blue Ridge Parkway

running down 11 sucks except for the stretch between lexington and roanoke - the rest has a ton of lights
