Arriving at Hadley's Restaurant at 11:15 we met up with Brick and Lee, and had a tasty lunch. From there we headed east and then north until we arrived at Stone Mountain State Park. We stopped at the main feature of the park, a re-creation of some early settlers at the base of the granite mountain. It is a giant reminder of the fact that we really do live on a really huge rock, covered in a very thin layer of vegetation.
If you clik this pic and look closely, you can see a crazy person climbing around on the mountain.
From there we continued along Longbottom Rd, Buckwheat Rd., Shingle Gap and a few more until it was time for yamadog and I to break away and head home to avoid Charlotte gridlock after dark. Lee and Brick continued on the remainder of the route, maybe they can finish up the report. It was a great day for riding, temps reached 60F, and sunny all the way! Good company too.
(280 miles according to yamadog)
Excellent "Romp"... yes, romp that is what I would call it... and I needed that romp more than I thought. The route was fantastic! While I had ridden near Stone Mountain and even had lunch at that store/restaurant we passed on the way in I have never gone in and it was cool! The old homestead sure tells me how damn nice we have it! Compared to the people who lived there I didn't work many days of my life! Life was a lot tougher then for sure!
Those who missed it... sorry for you! 
This is what I feel like.
