It was 37F when yamadog and I left Charlotte for Wilkesboro at 9:15, but those UV rays were making it feel about 10 degrees warmer!
Arriving at Hadley's Restaurant at 11:15 we met up with Brick and Lee, and had a tasty lunch. From there we headed east and then north until we arrived at Stone Mountain State Park. We stopped at the main feature of the park, a re-creation of some early settlers at the base of the granite mountain. It is a giant reminder of the fact that we really do live on a really huge rock, covered in a very thin layer of vegetation.
If you clik this pic and look closely, you can see a crazy person climbing around on the mountain.
From there we continued along Longbottom Rd, Buckwheat Rd., Shingle Gap and a few more until it was time for yamadog and I to break away and head home to avoid Charlotte gridlock after dark. Lee and Brick continued on the remainder of the route, maybe they can finish up the report. It was a great day for riding, temps reached 60F, and sunny all the way! Good company too. (280 miles according to yamadog)
