If you continue North on the brp about 30 miles from Roanoke, you could stay at the Peaks of Otter. It is real nice, but may require reservations. Otherwise there are tons of motels in and around Roanoke off of the parkway towards I-81. Have fun. |

If you wanted to go a little further south. VIR is having a Superbike event this weekend. Should be pretty cool. |

I ride that area all the time. Forget Roanoke though, the city that is, the riding is in the mountains. I'd look for lodging in the town of Floyd. It's just SouthWest of Roanoke and right off the parkway. There are people that rent little cabins that would probably be real nice. I found one on google but I've never been there: http://www.swva.net/pinecreekcabins/ |

If you don't mind camping, I like Willville. http://www.willvillebikecamp.com/ (Site warning: MUSIC) |
