I though I would try my hand at video recording my travels. This ride I wanted to “shoot the gap”, the southern gap of Skyline Drive.
There are two places along Skyline Drive where you can ride your motorcycle under the parkway, after going up a twisty mountain road and of course back down the other side. I had never ridden the southern gap so now was the time.
As you can see in the video it was a wonderful day to ride a motorcycle. Setting out from my home in Front Royal with a clear, bright, blue sky and a cool but comfortable temperature just made for a perfect journey. Low traffic in the Shenandoah Valley provided little impedance, except for the deer and her three fawns. I had to stop and let them cross, woe is me riding in the country.
So why 150 in 9? This was a 3-hour ride, but my batteries died after 2 ½ hours. NO ONE wants to watch a 150-minute ride with no commentary, I have not figured that one out yet, so I set it to fast forward and got the whole thing down to 9 minutes.
Hope you enjoy.

Ride on, Ride Safe
