We did many miles today. I got over 190 miles on third tank on the Hyperstrada. We took the blue ridge parkway all the way down. If we were on 81, it might not have been a lot of miles, but on the blue ridge parkway 486 miles is a lot of miles for one day. At the end of the days ride, things were even more complicated by the rain. We put on our rain gear, and it cleared up, we took it off and it rained again. By the time we were closing down the day, it was constant rain, and the sky has darken. It was not a very exciting ride and the going was slow as visibility was poor. We finally ended in Asheville, in a Days Inn just off of interstate 40.
