These trips are full of fun facts, lies and wisdom – today, Terry taught me the proper way to open a banana – who knew?! Our last day was all about the Virginia Highlands Horse Trail, a single-track trail with a 24-mile section open to motorcycles between October 1 and April 1.

Still mostly full from dinner the previous night, we munched protein bars while packing the bikes before rolling on 8 (see what I did there, 4 bikes each with 2 wheels… well, I thought it was amusing) on section 1 of the MABDR.

After eating breakfast at the Korner Shop Cafe in Franklin and picking up Subway sandwiches for lunch, we headed south on section 3 of the BDR in the George Washington National Forest.
