Default Mountain time

Need a little time in the mountains. Headed up to Murphy, NC to ride a couple of days.

Sort of a tradition to ride a few days and then watch some Bama vs. Vol's football while enjoying some good chili in the mountains.

Not sure if the leaves have started to turn, but, this area is beautiful when it does. Every road is great.

We will probably do Cherhola Thursday and Moonshine 28 Friday. Not sure if we will have time to do much of a ride Saturday before the game, it depends upon the fog which can be bad up till 10-11 at times.

I was up in that area the weekend before last, a little color in the trees were starting to show up. You should be hitting it near it’s peak I bet.

Have a great time. Colors are starting to peak here around Franklin in the higher elevations. Don't forget Wayah Rd it's a fantastic ride this time of year. Be careful, the leaf lookers are all over and they see us even less than usual this time of year. Bring your warm gear too, we are supposed to be in the 30's tomorrow and Wednesday. Won't warm up much by week's end. Ride safe.
