Left out from Greensboro in the chilly morning. Not quite rounder cold, but for us southerners it was cold enough in mid 50s. Heading for one of my fav haunts, the blue ridge parkway
This is typical Caroline small town. This happens to be Stokesdale, NC, about 15 miles from Greensboro. Im a transplant from NJ, and it took me awhile to get used to going from urban to rural in no time.

Alas, my route today departs from 89 in Danbury NC, home to Hanging Rock State Park. About 40 miles out, now, and these are the first mountains. This view from route 8 heading north. Hanging Rock is neat place to rock climb, or to stand in an ice cold waterfall when it's 200 in August

Hard to convey the approach to the parkway. This is the climb up to Tuggles Gap, VA. Nice twisties. Climb is about 6 miles of switchbacks, off camber blind corners. The turns are very close together, but so acute you can't see more than one small section at a time.

I went southbound, back towards NC. I can hear all the rounders groaning, but it was cold up there. Spring is still a ways off in the high country. Down on the flats we've had leaves on the trees for several weeks, while up on the parkway it's only now beginning to be spring. This view from Rocky Knob

Y'all should know where the Tar Heel blue comes from. Sky was cloudless all day. This shot is typical parkway. Gotta be one of the best roads anywhere for bikes. No stop signs for 500 miles, fairly challenging (tho not very many twisties) and no trucks. Also, during the week, very little traffic.

this is view from foxhunters paradise overlook, taken at 10X. The peaks on the horizon are, from left to right, Hanging Rock (as seen in post 4, I believe) and Pilot Mountain. Distance from Hanging Rock to Pilot is about 40 miles, and I an probably 60 miles from Pilot. Anybody guess why it's called the blue ridge?
