I left Johnson City, TN on Sunday morning and headed back to southern NC for more great riding. I picked the wrong day to ride the Blue Ridge, but I had a nice surprise when I got to Highway 64.
I'm probably the only guy who has ridden in the Smoky Mountains who didnÔÇÖt take the time to do the Tail of the Dragon. I think I found a more enjoyable alternative called the Cherohala Skyway.
My cousin and I took a two day trip down to Natchez, Mississippi. Although it looks like IÔÇÖm backtracking, this was a special trip. For all the details and lots of photos please check out my website (link below).
This is a great little town just 20 miles south of Nashville. ThereÔÇÖs lots of historical sites in the area, as well as an amazing amount of great old homes, and a nice downtown area. YouÔÇÖll find my quickie home tour on my website.
Departing the Nashville area, Hwy 31E and the Cumberland Parkway took me across Kentucky to the Daniel Boone National Forrest. I did a big loop, ending up in Manchester just as the storm front finally caught up to me. Another seven hours of great roads included a quaint little college town.
Winding through 300 miles of great Kentucky roads, I kept one step ahead of ugly rain clouds on the way to West Virginia. Along the way, I made a quick detour into Ohio just for fun. More details on my website.
This trip through the Monongahela over to Shenandoah National Park is six hours of motorcycle nirvana. I wish I had real time video instead of a point-and-shoot camera.
After ten hours of heavy rain, fog, truck spray, road construction and other pleasantries, I finally made it from Shenandoah National Park to New York State.
The clouds only parted just as I crossed the border.
Today was all about the Adirondacks, and crossing Lake Champlain into Vermont. Clear skies, light traffic, and wonderful views. All the details and photos on my website.
This is start of month two of my ÔÇ£Long Ride For Life.ÔÇØ If you just joined the trip, itÔÇÖs great to have you along.
If you have been following my trip from the start, reading the blog on my website and have stuck with me this long, how about making a small donation or a pledge to the American Cancer Society? Details are on the right-hand column of my home page. The website linky is below.
Picked up Janet at the airport this morning. WeÔÇÖre running up to Stowe, then down along Hwy 100 to Waitsfield, home of American Flatbread. ItÔÇÖs all on the website.
By the time we got to Woodstock we were half a million strong - oops , wrong place, wrong generation! But our little journey was just as fun and a lot less crowded. Hwy 100 was made for touring on a motorcycle. More good stuff is on the website.
Chester and Weston
We checked out more great little towns and hamlets, and enjoyed more great roads and wonderful old homes. We are even getting great weather. Follow along on the website.
It was a great run down the river road to Southern Vermont. Slower and bumpier than the faster interstate, but much more satisfying. We visited the closest thing to the town of Stepford this side of Hollywood.
We crisscrossed the Connecticut River on our way to Lancaster to attended the UnRally. RogerÔÇÖs campground turned out to be the perfect venue for our get together. Read more on my website.
Had a super time with the gang at the Unrally. Lots of great riding over the three days, and the food was pretty good, too. See my website for all the details.
We left New Hampshire, and took a quick run across northern Vermont on the way to the airport. There I had to say goodbye to my traveling companion of the last ten days. Next, Mark led me across the border to his home town.
