Marc we passed you and your wife not sure if we were on old 421 at that point. I didn't see your last post until I got home. I rode 405 miles today w Brick, Chris and Jeff and 2 of his friends from Asheville.

Yep we saw y'all too. I probably made my post while Brick was enroute. I wasn't sure if y'all were staying on Hwy 221 all the way to Sparta or going on Hwy 16. We had to meet people in Bristol and the Sparta route would have set me back. As it was we made it to Bristol slightly late after a stop at Shady Valley. Hope you had a good ride, Hwy 58 is better than it was 2 weeks ago.

Well Brick would be the guy to ask the specifics. We went over white Mountain? And the opposite direction we normally travel thru Damascus. Around lake Watagua, beach mountain road down 181. And you still can't beat going home on GOOD OL' OLD 18!!
When you have a line of 6 bikers and you get behind some slow pokes here and there it messes up some good roads. But when you are by yourself you don't let that slow you down on OLD 18, it makes for the best part of the day.

Looks like you took Cross Mountain Rd. just west of Shady Valley. Nice route. Is that Chris Jernigan in the Caberg helmet? (and matchy-matchy "Stich")

.Ok... the Aerostich suits are not matching. He has no ballistics like my suit which has black ballistics. And they are Roadscrafter lite suits!
No Bob, all Y'all who ride GS's don't ride them like Old Men.

That isn't saying much. I would have been thankful to take a forest service road over 58 during the last ride. At least the forest road is consistent.
