Wonderful ride today

We had our monthly chapter meeting this morning at the dealership then following that we took a ride (yes, to eat) to Laural Springs NC to a place called Freeborns Eatery and Lodge. The ride was GREAT even though it was a bit overcast. This is another biker's haven. After we ate, we got on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a spell - just long enough to get into some rain. Not bad rain though but we stopped and put on our rain gear anyhow because it was sort of chilly on top of the mountain too. After a spell we got off the Parkway and on to US 421 to Boone, NC. Stopped and got some motion lotion then headed back on 421 to home via Mountain City and Shady Valley. There's a couple of mountains that you cross in that area when you ride "The Snake". As we rounded one of the curves, low and behold a black bear ran across the road in front of us. No danger though because we were going at a reasonable speed to keep as much metal as possible on the bike although I did scrap in a couple of the curves. All in all a GREAT and wonderful ride and well as a good day.
BTW the burgers and wings are g-o-o-o-o-d!!!!!!!!!

Lots of beautiful scenery especiall from the bridges and averlooks. I just wish they would repave. It's getting sort of rough. course if you go the speed limit of 45, it really shouldn't be that much of a problem.

I'm glad I got that ride in yesterday. I'm supposed to have chemo tomorrow and this new regimen is kicking my butt a bit more than the previous. But by the Lord's good will I can still throw my leg across the Harley and I'm very thankful for that.

Come on down. The scenery is beautiful from the overlooks and bridges and on the hottest days it's comfortable when you're going through the wooded areas.

Great to hear you're out riding, Danny. That is a beautiful area of our state. I remember coming through there when we moved out here . . .

Truely a beautiful area. Very relaxing jus to glide through the "S" curves.

Yep Danny, we are blessed with this country... Good to hear from you...

Hey MC, I bet you and joshbob have put several miles on the Parkway since that in you "home turf".
