Highlands 4/23

Thanks Bob for putting the ride together and what a gorgeous day - a little spring nip in the air to savor because it'll be hot soon enough. We had me, Bob, Steve, Broz, Kevin, Scott and Jim - a full COF quorum.
The cop wrote me up for passing him on double yellow and it was inevitable. That's a 35mph zone for miles west of Blowing Rock on 221 and no legal place to pass. I'd have never guessed it was a cop in that shitbox SUV so it was only a matter of time before I passed him. I'm glad it was a short space and nobody else came around.
Here's video and I just dumped everything with no editing. It starts at triple digits on the base of 181 until we all get back together at the road work. Next, up on the parkway then the run down 221. The video is too long but you can skip forward through it. Places where the audio cuts out are because I have GMRS audio prioritized over video audio. In the future I suppose it would be better to turn off GMRS while videoing.
