Wow!!! Where to start?!?! This was the first time I've done anything like this (a trip with the guys for more than a day), and it was amazing. Thanks to Grady for the great companionship! Sorry your couldn't make it Stacey... Near perfect roads (a few mile bad stretch btw Mt. Mitchell & Asheville) and perfect weather the whole time (albeit a little cool today in areas). You'll notice there aren't too many scenery shots. That is because we were riding. We covered just shy of 800 miles in these 2 days, a total of 17 hours riding nothing but 2-lane twisties!!! These roads flow SO well, and traffic was pretty minimal, surprisingly to both of us. It was really neat riding thru so many different types of forest, fields, pastures, and meadows. Just gorgeous the whole time; words can't describe the beauty of this country the Lord created. Before the next trip (this may now be an annual ride...) I'll most definitely have a camera mount made for my handlebars, allowing for hand's-free picture taking while riding.
We started off renting a 16' Budget moving truck 1-way from G'ville, SC, to Harrisonburg, VA (near Front Royal).
We loaded our bikes in the back On Thursday night (7-23) after work.
We headed out on a beautiful Friday morning!!!
We unloaded our bikes & headed for the hotel, getting sprinkled on for a minute, but that was it. Not even enough to show on the roads. The Quality Inn we stayed at in Front Royal was very nice, with a free breakfast to boot! It cost me a whoppin' $11.50 since I had some points on a special credit card. I would recommend it in a heartbeat, as I think the regular price is only $65 a night.
