Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

I started from home and then I road to downtown Roanoke Va. The picture below is one of Roanoke’s more famous landmarks, the Texas Tavern. You can order “One With” (a hamburger with onions), or a “Hot With” (a hotdog with onions) or a bowl with (Chilly with onions), or the famous Cheesy Western. They are fond of saying “we don’t cash checks nor play with Bumble Bees” (this is one of their more famous posters mounded on the wall inside). Or you may also see the “we seat 1000 people 10 at a time” sign.

The picture below is taken at the foot on Mill Mountain. Go right and you go up Walnut Ave. to the Roanoke Star, from there it is a short ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I took the left turn onto Riverland-Rt116 Road. This Riverland road is located where the Roanoke River used to flow. The river was diverted to a new location for better flood control.

About two miles later you should pass this “warning ?”. Continue on Riverland-Rt.116 until it Ts into Rt122.

Shortly after you turn onto Rt.122 you will pass another landmark. This is a store connected to a popular dairy farm that still home delivers milk in the Roanoke area.

After about 10 minutes on Rt.122 you should come upon Smith Mountain Lake. You will cross over the lake on Hales Ford Bridge. I took a detour and road down to the Smith Mountain Lake State Park.
