OK Not much of a ride report, but I did capture a few photos. It was an absolute beautiful day. I hope everyone was able to get out enjoy it. As mentioned, it was an early start, so I was surprised to see a large crowd already at TWO when I pulled in a little before 9:00. There was an "EOM" version of COG going on so there were a lot of riders staying there at the camp grounds and cabins. Had a good breakfast (it is the most important meal of the day).
Then it was gearing up to head north for a fun run up 60 and 68 up to Tellico Plains.
After a quick pit-stop at the Exxon to top off the tank, started to gain elevation. Typically I prefer not to hit the pull-offs, but decided to hit one of the early ones and snap a couple of shots as proof.
It's hard not to have a smile on one's face with such a wonderful day!
The majority of the trip across the mountains was pleasant and un-eventful, but it is hard to cover this much distance and not get stuck behind a large group of pirates on a slow, chrome scrapping pace. Coming down into Robbinsville was brutal. There was a long train of more than 20+ bikes piled up behind these clowns and in typical fashion, they had no desire to let anyone pass them. Was so frustrated that I decided not to stop in Robbinsville, but instead make some time heading down to Blairsville. Was looking forward to some award winning Q from Jim's Smoking Que on 129 and was not disappointed.
Made it home in just over 8 hours and logged a little over 366 miles. Other than the typical traffic back here in-and -around Atlanta, it was a GREAT day. Just what the doctor ordered.
Everyone be safe out there-Happy riding.
