Started my ride at 7am this morning from the entrance of the Skyline Drive. Passed the entrance gate which was unoccupied and rode up to Hogback at 3400' in just over 2 hours at a relaxed pace. I descended down towards Elk Hollow but after a mile decided to turn around since I needed to be back to meet my wife at 10:45. It was a great morning for a ride with temps in the low 60s. It was pretty hazy though and the particulate count was probably fairly high. I really liked this section of road though and would like to ride the whole 105 miles as a day ride sometime. I had 43.4 miles in 3:30 ride time. That includes a lot of floating though overlooks to take a picture or catch the view. I guess there had to be close to 4000' of climbing roundtrip since I started at 590' and rode to 3385' with a couple downhills in between. I had about 300' coming back up to Hogback too. Nice ride.
