Friday March 8 2013 Marion-126-90-etc
Posted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:07 pm
Today was a first--or maybe a second--we had 6 riders all with B2B radios. And things just seem to go quite smoothly with everyone in the communications loop! Except when I left Ed in Collettsville. Anyway, Ed, Broz, Twisty, Yarbi, Scott, and I made a nice loop from Halfway Hdwre to Golden Valley Rd., then an assortment of new roads which connected into Painters Gap and finally Sugar Hill Rd. into Marion for lunch at (you guessed it) Countryside BBQ . After lunch we rode the northern 126 loop around Lake James, but deviated on Fish Hatchery Rd to connect with Brown Mtn Beach & Hwy 90. We stopped in Collettsville for a pit stop and none other than Bill Wilson came riding up from out of nowhere--on his new Ninja 650. After BS'ing, Bill followed us back down to Piedmont Rd. and a pit stop at the Gate. Then one last blast down Old 18 and we all split up and headed for home. It was a chilly day to start but warmed into the lower 60's. Carolina Blue Skies all day.
Here's a few pics--anybody else got some?
