Blue Ridge Ride

Left this morning and headed out for Atlanta, GA. Rode all day including a long stretch on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

 A spectacular ride, one curve after another, almost like riding around waves in the ocean. I guess this highway goes all the way through the Carolinas. After being on the road from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. we were ready to take it in for the night. I’m tired.

We are now in North Carolina. On our way to Georgia, we found a road called Blue Ridge Parkway that runs along a ridge. We must have been on this for about 75 miles, this was like going down Chuckanut only on top of the mountain.

If it were not for the rain, it would be nice to push it a bit.

We are now in Boone, NC. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a great ride. We now have a little over 1100 miles of approx. 7000. The motorcycles are broken in and we are having fun. It rained some today, so it slowed us down. It is forecasted to be thunderstorms in the a.m. so it will be slow moving as well.
