My partner and I rode this route W-S to Blue Ridge Pkwy to Greensboro on 28 April 2012. Beautiful ride from Mt Airy, NC to Fancy Gap, VA to Madison, NC. The Blue Ridge Pkwy was AWESOME even though it was a little cold. The weather man lied to us about what the weather was going to be. The 40 miles of 4 lane to get to Mt Airy plus the 20 miles of 4 lane-city traffic after Madison and the 30 miles of I-40 back to the hotel in W-S were boring with not much to look at but the needed evil for the 80 miles of fun ride with great visuals. We took our time with frequent stops which made the ride a day long event. Worth doing and I hope to go back in the fall when the leaves start changing colors.

Great day ride. A little bit of everything as far as roads go. But well paved with great views.

2nd time on the route. Takes a bit of time to get into the good stuff away from Greensboro (where my hotel was). But worth the wait. Roads were clean and uncrowded yesterday and aside from the heat, a great day for riding. I imported the route into the Scenic app and it will need some cleanup - tends to put me in loops and odd routes. Will go back again.
