I retired as soon as I could, 61.9 yrs old, in February and bought a house in Lenoir NC so I could ride the mountains to my hearts content. Lenoir is a lesser known town (read: cheap real estate!) SE of Asheville, a few miles from Boone and Blowing Rock. So far this place is paradise - within minutes I'm on some of the best roads in the country and the scenery is spectacular. Here are a few pics from general riding around and a video shot this morning. It's my last ride until next week because I'm laying low for Memorial Day Weekend. It'll be nose to tail Harleys through Monday.
Anybody in the area who wants to hook up some time send me a PM! I ride at least twice a week.
Elk Creek Road. FJR's love gravel and that's the end of it.

Upper Linville Falls Had to do a little motorcycle boot hiking for this one.
Elk River Falls And, a bit more hiking involved. Worth it though - it's off the beaten track so there aren't touristy guard rails. It's a simple matter to plunge to your death from the top of the falls.
Boring *** 5 Minute Ride Video The upper part of NC-80 from the Blue Ridge Parkway to Marion, AKA "The Devil's Staircase", "The Whip" or some such. Whatever, I had it all to myself this morning.
