Ouch, that doesn't sound good. Sending wishes for quick diagnosis and fix. Need to get her well so we can go on another 3 day BBQ run!

Waiting for a MRI. , should be in the next few days. Initial diagnosis is Anterolisthesis, they want to look at a a MRI before jumping to conclusions. She’s on Flexiril, prednisone and some pain meds.

A friend of mine is trying to have this named ride around Lake James officially named and recognized. I live right off it and ride it often. It’s fun and for now free of traffic.

Wayah Rd is amazing:


Cherohala is always a treat to ride:



BRP is a friendly favorite:





So many fine roads and we've been fortunate to ride more than our share of them. 209, 276, 441, FHP, LRG, 28, 80, 226A, 221, 9.....and many more. The worst thing is having to choose one or two on a given day and ignore all the others. So many more to discover too.
