650 mile ride up to Boone. Nice ride even though there was misting rain for a 125 miles and I never saw the sun until I got there. A little cool. Now for a week of mountain roads with friends. Pictures to follow. My friends really put together some good rides. I have ridden a lot of the roads; but I am sure there will be some new ones. BRP, 209, Back of the Dragon, Diamondback, The Snake, are some I have ridden. And another visit to Fox Creek Leather.
