Yeah, we rode the Cherohala Skyway last time and the time before. It's beautiful out there. :-) Gonna check out your video now.

Ah, cool. Yeah, we enjoyed our ride out there, too. One of the local guys caught up to us at an overlook to comment on how skillfully we were riding. Got a picture of it...

Did anyone get cited?
i live right on the blue ridge parkway, so that video is like a typical ride.... i love living in the mountains, because when roads like that video bore me, i hit the mountain roads for some real curves...
Nah, he let us go. When he pulled out behind us as we rode by him right after he'd ticketed someone else, only the guy at the very back of our group noticed. He slowed down. A few miles down the road we all pulled over and were waiting for our friend to catch up at the overlook. He was riding slowly the whole trip so we weren't surprised when we stopped and he wasn't with us. A few minutes later he pulled up with the patrol dude right behind him. The patrol guy asked us to come over and then said "Hey, do y'all know why it took your friend so long to get here? Because he was only riding at about 15 mph over the speed limit, unlike y'all." He went on to talk long enough for us to read between the lines and find out he's extremely bored with his job and that he just wanted to talk some. Nice enough guy. He let us go in part because none of us "looked like trouble." :-)
