Thurs. ride with Beachy

Unread postby Bob » Thu Jan 26, 2017 5:25 pm

Broz and I met Beachy and Old Gun at the mexi spot in Albemarle for lunch, and afterwards Beachy led us on a fun ride thru Uwharrie, some of it new-to me. The northern sections were nice, more-hillier than the southern parts, and we must have zig-zagged across Uwharrie for quite a while, before the road turned to gravel. At that point, Broz was needing to get back to his office before 4:00 and my post-flu-fatigue was starting to set in too <barf> . So we started making tracks for home and skipped the dirt, wish we had 2-way comm so we cudda told yall what we were up to. Thanks again Beachy--and great to see Old Gun out riding again! <tour>

Hey Beachy, you asked about that Uwharrie road I liked---where it turns right off of Pekin Rd, it is called Chip Rd, and after a few miles the name changes to Thickety Creek Rd the rest of the way to where it hits 731. To me its about the best road anywhere in Uwharrie--just wish it was about 30 miles longer lol.

Know the one you mean- one of my faves, too <thumb>

Do you have a route of the new-to-you roads plotted out? ...those half-day-ish Uwharrie rides work out pretty well for me, and the roads are well-suited to my rolling stock.

Here's the latest one I mapped out, the 2nd half anyway is new--haven't ridden it yet though, but it looks neat.
