Milepost 93.1, Blue Ridge Parkway
Copyright Violation?
Rockpile containing remnant ore from 1800's mining operations. You'll see several hollers with these rockpiles. There are strip and small shaft mines up the mountain from each of these.
So jump forward...you did 4.5 miles of pavement, the rest dirt, plus the 5.5 mile climb out of the bottom to get you nearly 2000' of climbing before seeing this: the Blue Ridge Parkway, milepost 93.1.

The Blue Ridge Parkway, in front of Bobletts Gap parking/overlook.
Looking down Chair Rock descent, aka Bobletts Gap Road. Fairly rugged, fun, and you'll be coming back up in about 2 hours.
Look for the trail - take a sharp right upwards and backwards just ahead of bike.
Another view of Mineshaft trailhead. You can blow right past it, it's exactly 1 mile from the picnic table at the top.
Ahh...the moss berms. Greenery even in the dead of winter.
