High Country Ride in the middle of the winter

So just how lucky are we?? Go a couple hundred miles north and everyone is shivering under the polar vortex. But not us Olde phartz. We had a blast in perfect 60F'ish weather. Scott, Brick, Beachy, and I headed around Lake James and up 80 to Burnsville for a burger at Bubbas. Man it was tasty. Then Brick led us up Jacks Creek, Harrell Hill, and a bunch of other fantastic roads with really neat winter views. The last stop was on Joe Johnson Rd just off 181 for a view to the west of the black mtns and Mt Mitchell--wish I had my binocs with me. Scott and I finished it up with a run down Old 18. What a great day to ride!!
