Headed up to Linville Falls Campground (National Park) yesterday morn for a quick overnight camp. I ride a lot up in that area as I rent in a cabin in Spruce Pine a couple times a year. Great trip (except the campground), I got to ride 221 up to Blowing Rock. One of my favorite roads. Traveled 181 up through the Pisgah National Forrest which turned out to be a nice run. Nothing real technical but many high speed corners. And of course the ubiquitous BRP run. Quite busy with Labor Day traffic so I kept that to a minimum.
The Big Girl purred like a kitten the whole way. Impressive bike.
Side note, Linville Falls Winery right off 221 is a must stop for wine lovers. Great wine (for NC, but that caveat is becoming less and less apt) and beautiful grounds. I bought a Cab Sauv that was smokey and deliciously dry.
