"Anthony;

We would welcome your company. This is the type of ride I expect to break into smaller groups; anyway there are no cue sheets required and only one turn (around) so you can't get lost. One can even shave off a couple miles by turning around sooner.

I think May weather will be perfect (much better than August when I rode it last summer). My only concern, and not a big one is Memorial Weekend traffic. This is what I found, posted by a cyclist:

""Despite the overcast it was a very busy day on the Skyline Drive. Every legal parking space and usually a few illegal spaces were taken at every pullout. Traffic was heavy at times, but rarely a problem. The RVs were plentiful and sometimes I pulled over to let particularly timid drivers by, but I was never run off the road. For folks used to riding only on bike paths or roads with shoulders, the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway can seem a bit threatening. Narrow lanes, lots of hills and curves, and sometimes heavy traffic sound pretty bad, but the speed limits are low and most folks are not in a hurry, so riding conditions really aren't that bad even at heavy traffic times."""
