From the invitation:
“The Parkway’s 50th anniversary celebration in 1985 spurred a multi-year increase in media coverage of the area and brought millions of new visitors to the Parkway region, resulting in impressive economic impacts. As we approach and make plans for the 75th Anniversary, the opportunities for a similar result are equally favorable.”
The Blue Ridge Parkway is a world-class touring and day-ride destination for bicyclists from all over the world. Bicycling on the Parkway is important to Virginia’s economy, and a key recreational resource for Virginians. Let’s highlight this by getting some bicycling events into these festivities!
