Ok, here are the last of the photos. I won't bore you with a blow by blow report. On days 9, 10, and 11 I rode all over western North Carolina, most of the time with Georgia Roller and a few hours with Pegsparks and FJRBandit. Among other roas we hit the Cherohala Skyway, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and The Rattler. Then on day 12 I rode home along with Winewhisperer, Pegsparks and FJRBandit.

GeorgiaRoller and I tried our luck on a Forestry Service Road. All's well that ends well.

And the obligatory photos killboy.com photos. The first two are on The Dragon and the last is on the Cherohala Skyway
What else can I say? It was a fantastic trip. I hung out with old friends and made new ones. I'm especially looking forward to returning to CFO and the friendly folks up there.
Signing off until the next adventure.
