BRP in May

Planning a trip from FL to Lorton, VA via Autotrain, riding my scoot up to Gettysburg then down to Skyline Drive and the BRP and back to FL. Anyone know what the weather is like the first of May on SD and the BRP? I would appreciate any info.

It can get rather chilly up in the mountians that time of year. For example have a look at temps listed here for Waynesboro Virginia which is where SD and BRP start/end. Higher elevations can range anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees cooler than these listed temps.

We did the same ride and direction last year in June. It was hot as hades! Heat wave. I looked at the route and picked out several towns and a week before started pulling the weather in those areas to give us a hint. We picked it just right. We only took light jackets and the wife wore hers one morning for about two hrs, other than that we were good. Good luck, it's an awesome ride.
