We looked out into a cloud to the East, but other directions were clear. In that immediate area, there are 7 peaks above 6000 feet. It's a nice "destination" ride, either from Asheville up the BRP, or from the east where I live, up rte. 80 or 226A. I think you mentioned you'll be in WNC in early August. PM me when that time gets close, and perhaps we can meet up for some riding. It's always about 10-15 degrees cooler up there -- great ride to escape the summer heat!
I’ll be in touch, A-Man. I’ll be riding with a group of 4 or 5 friends Thursday-Saturday but on Sunday 8/5 I’m cutting out on my own from Maggie Valley. I’ve got a cabin rental on Lake Watauga for Sunday night. It’s not very far away so I’d have plenty of time for a meet and ride.
Way to get out there and ride despite the elements, offroad! In your hotel pic you look like an alien visitor. I had a similar experience in Realp, Switzerland. Arrived at a hotel cold and soaking wet.
