THANKS !!! For the ride report Adam. A very nice area to ride indeed.
I've only made it over there three times ('83, '00 & '01), but always a
great trip. Of course it is 1500 miles from Texas/Oklahoma, but worth the
trip. The southern half of the BRP is the bomb, even with a 45mph speed
limit ;} Did you ride 28 over by Fontana Dam and to Deals Gap? And the
Cherahola Skyway? Did you get down the the Blue Ridge M/C campground,
that's a hairy road down from the BRP.
Riding solo is actually my preferred mode of touring. I get more miles in,
and seem to have more adventure. Definitely meet more people, maybe it's
"our" mindset, when with a group we tend to interact with the group at a
stop but when alone we are more approachable by the citizens. And hey, I
never met a stranger I didn't like, at least at first :)) One of my great
pleasures, on the road, is yakking with the locals, you can learn a lot
about the local roads, sights and some great places to EAT, especially good
pie.
Rain happens, I guess you are a veteran of that now. Glad you enjoyed the
ride. Thanks for sharing, bro.
Oh, yeah, and the Sprint was "flawless" ehhh? Who woulda thunk it? :))))
