Biking the Blue Ridge Parkway with 5 Granddaughters

In the Summer of 2010, 74-year-old Daytonian and outdoor adventurer Allen Johnson biked the 469-mile length of the Blue Ridge Parkway with five granddaughters, pedaling 50 miles a day for 10 days. Because of all the ups and downs, the total climb for the 469-mile ride is over 48,000 feet. Johnson and his granddaughters stopped to wade in Otter Creek, explore Mill Mountain zoo, walk through Natural Bridge rock arch, visit an Indian village and see the Biltmore Estate.
