Hey Rob, that sounds like a good day, and the weather's supposed to be beautiful. I wish I could join up, but can't do it this weekend...kids' soccer make-up games from all the rain we've had.

Have a good ride up there,

Will

Bummer. Hopefully we'l have more opportunities soon. Steve (XHD) is gonna go with me. I'd love to meet a few of the other "locals". I know there's more of us around here.

It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

So I check in this morning to find this. I'm planning on a ride up to Ceasar's Head this afternoon. Enjoy the day!

OK. Here ya go.
Y'all missed out on a FANTASTIC ride today! Great weather, little to no traffic and some AWESOME roads!
We made it to the intended target.
Along the way, we passed by Lake Lure.
Took a quick jaunt up the BRP.
Found a really good BBQ joint for lunch....and one last stop before parting ways.

Couldn't ask for any more. What a grand day!
PS, Sorry George, we beat you to it.

Thanks for sharing the pics Rob! I wish I could have joined you guys. That is one good looking Duc.

You definitely beat me to Caesar's Head... I never made it. We got a late start and had to be back early so we spent 4 hours exploring some of the 2 lane roads in Anderson County. We found a Grist Mill originally built in 1784 and then rebuilt in 1898. The current owner brought the mill back to life in 2002, after a 40 year nap. Photos coming...

Rob really put me through some awesome roads going to the BRP! I was able to introduce him to one he hadn't been on from Hendersonville to 276 outside Brevard as partial payback. All told, a super way to kill 9 hours on a beautiful day! Thanks Rob!
