Rain on the BRP

I'm finding lately that the weather in the mountains has been absolutely perfect between about 8:00 am and noon. Cool, and comfortable with a jacket. Yesterday, I did rt 221 from Blowing Rock south to Linville. It's very curvy, and much has been recently re-paved, after May's rains and landslides. It parallels the BRP, but several hundred feet below, and offers nice views of the Linville Viaduct. It's the road that goes by the entrance to Grandfather Mountain State Park. I highly recommend it -- just don't do it in the rain!

Funny, I rode 221 from Linville to Blowing Rock on Sunday. There was some sort of big horse show in Blowing Rock at Moses Cone Park. I was on the parkway before that but got off because traffic was slow. Should clear up soon, school goes back into session so all of the Florida license plates should start to go away.

I seemed to avoid all of the rain, even though the heavens looked like that we’re going to release when I was riding around the south mountain park.
