Enough to keep you interested ??? are you kidding???

You'll be in the Blue Ridge Mountains - some of the BEST riding in the US. Hey, with that much time on your hands, you could make it to the Dragon and back with time to spare before you head towards NYC.

And actually I had planned on this long ago. Ted k was instrumental in starting this gig & he offered me his spare room while down there. This was all before his accident. So im going down to ride the roads, see the sights & visit Ted for a bit.

If I can finagle a decent trailer, then I would haul both bikes down. Makes for a more relaxing ride once I get there. Otherwise I will ride down...have done it in the past. Little over 700 miles each way.

paul,
it's pretty easy to do 400 mile loops in a day up there in the nc,tn,va area. i had so much fun riding the last time i was there, i would stop for gas and food and ride some more. did you find a rental bike?
