Fri. 2-15 Ride to Lake Lure & Beyond
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2013 2:40 pm
Ed, Yarbi, and I met up and took the "Lake Lure Expressway" thru greater downtown Polkville on NC182 with Yarbi leading the way. Arriving at Lake lure at 11:30, we were greeted by Doug "Zippin" Pippin (MSTA member), Otto (forgot his last name), and Joe Thomas (MSTA NC state director). And then Brick & Scott rolled in and we had a great lunch at the Lake Lure Smokehouse. Afterwards, "Zippin" (who was riding a KLR650) set a frantic pace thru "new" roads--to me anyway--plus a couple familiar ones too. After Winding around Lake Adger, we hopped on Green River Cove Rd. for a harrowing ride up the switchbacks to Saluda. Then a new/old route back down the mtn. and a trip up Skyuka Mtn. Rd. to the top of White Oak Mtn. Then a few different roads west of Saluda until it was time for Ed & I to head back eastward (Don had cut out after lunch). The weather was fantastic, although it got a little chilly up in the hills as clouds gathered late afternoon. I had a great time!!! Anybody else take any pics?
