WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA

Elderhostel and Spring training.
Where we stayed

And from a distance
The main assembly at Lake Junaluska
Another view
Bunch of pictures from my bike rides


Yep, the very one from the story/movie
Spent many miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway
Some Hillbilly shit
But not very much
What a treasure
Lots of bikers on the Parkway
Me and a big Rock

  1. I vote for this Spring training camp location next year! Some beautiful scenery. Nice pictures and post - sure is a big rock.

  2. Nice views John.... looks like a great place to ride. Ride along or did you have some company?

  3. I was on my own, but I ran into quite a few riders - especially on the Blue Ridge Parkway. One day I enjoyed the company of a fella from Boone NC for over ten miles.
    And talk about climbs - I did a couple of climbs that were over 15 miles long and my Iowa gears almost let me down several times.
    Kat is right - it would make an excellent Spring training Camp.

  5. I second the notion that North Carolina is a fantastic place to ride. The Blue Ridge is a relaxing and challenging ride at the same time. Makes me want to do it again.
