Weds. 10-30 Ride to the SSSSSSNAKE!
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2013 10:32 pm
We had a big crew today--Brick, Broz, Steve, Scott, Yamadog, and I met in Morganton and hooned it up 181 for lunch at Christa's. Always tasty stuff there. Then we took 194 & Georges Gap to Mountain City for a fling at "The SSSSSSNAKE" (hisssssing sound). We rode "Snake-South" and "Snake-North", then headed up thru the world famous Backbone Rock to Damascus, Va. where we picked up US58--non-stop twisties and scenic too. Then over White Top Mtn. and 194 down thru Todd to NC16, and down the Mtn. for home. Broz counted 391 miles for the day--thats a lot of ground to cover with a large % of it fairly technical. Home at 6:45. Weather was perfect, warming to the 70's even at elevation. I had a BLAST! Here's a couple of pics. You shudda been there!!
