6 miles of it?

Nice views, but too crowded, too many cops, and too restrictive of a speed limit. Way too many good roads without national attention around there to ride the BRP again.

I'm in agreement with Russ on this one. 45 mph is bad enough, but 35 is a joke unless it's leaf peeper season, or your riding at night.

I normally ride a little higher than the posted limit during the day, but try not to ride up there after dark due to the presence of countless deer along the road who are NOT afraid of vehicles, especially on the Skyline Drive portion from I-64 to Front Royal.

I agree that 35 is ridiculously low. Why not just call it a school zone and be done with it?

It can get busy on the BRP around Asheville during the morning and evening rush hours. Must be a good cut thru road for the locals.
