5 Trikes on the BRP, 151 & 276
On 9-5-16 nine of us, on 5 trikes, decided to do a bit of exploring...this was before the Maggie Valley Gathering was in full swing.
Heading out....
...it was not long before we were on the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP). The views are fantastic!
The road is great, a look ahead...
...the company is great, a look behind.
One of many scenic pull-outs...
...This one is at the highest point on the BRP.
We're blocking the view.
There were Five Trikes, including us...we pulled out in patriotic order- RED, WHITE & BLUE.
BRP never fails to provide great views!
There were more than a few tunnels that we rode through.
More in next post.

Looking to the right...
...looking ahead.
We turned off the BRP to take the 151 up into Asheville for a late lunch.
This IS A FUN road...
...I knew right away I was going to be riding this again.
Mary in the mirror!
On the straight part of 151 now, headed toward lunch.
We had a great time at lunch, good food, great company, and not a single pic!
Headed back to Maggie Valley, via the 151...
...and then the 276.
Both the 151 and 276 begged me to ride them hard. Mary is working on editing down some video of them. Should have them on youtube before too long.
Back at the motel. I knew, before we left, that the rubber isolator for my horn was weak/about to give way. That is why I packed a new one on this trip. After getting back to the motel I did a little rocking chair/parking lot replacement. All is good to go!
