WHO NEEDS ROADS?

During one of our rest stops while riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I was in the right place at the right time when a fellow rider cruised passed us.  I heard him before I saw him, so I got my camera ready, thinking I would try to get a shot of him as he rode by. This is what I ended up with.  Hmmm...

WHO NEEDS ROADS?

What the... ??

OH... THAT ROAD.

As you can see... there really was a road there, but I had fun thinking this dude decided to abandon the asphalt to play in the grass. That was one of the nice attributes of riding on the Parkway.  There were many curvy surprises that delivered the illusion and split second thought that you were going to ride right off the side of the mountain out into the open air. What a rush!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

PIC OF THE WEEK - BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS

I have lots of pics to sort through after our week long adventure, and I'm going to start the week with a couple of my favorite shots.

THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS

Riding in mountains like these are a riders dream!  One minute you're climbing and reaching until you feel like you're on top of the world, the next you know, you're cruising and coasting down, down, down, into Mother Nature's beautiful bosom. All the while, trying to keep your eyes on the road! There is so much to enjoy!

Looking out over the horizon, I kept thinking how blue everything looked. Ya think that's why they call them... the Blue Ridge Mountains?

Have a great week everybody!

IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY.

You know that feeling you get, when you run into an old friend, and after a few minutes of talking and catching up, it seems like only yesterday? Or going back home... and getting the feeling like you've never really left.  If you don't know what I mean, it's hard to describe, but after just a few miles on the road with the Boy, it felt like I've never left the saddle!

Harley and I headed out on our first road trip to the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway and the Smokey Mountain National Park to commemorate our "Reunion Ride". Quite an endeavor for two out of shape riders to accomplish after a year long sabbatical from riding.

Seven days, six states, and 2211 miles!! Shew! If I didn't have an iron butt before, I sure do now! You would think we were trying to make up for lost time the way we went about it, but even though we were tired... we had a great ride! Getting back on the road with two wheels under me has been quite an experience in itself, but there I was, doing just that... and with all that beautiful scenery to surround me.

I'm so happy to be...

Riding... feeling... smiling... it seemed like only yesterday.
