On a dirt road to Blowing Rock NC

[gcarper_imp]

4 of us ride together every week, call ourselves the CPRs [ Carolina Pro Riders ] which sounds better than old farts. All retired ,pushing and over 70 and ride at least 10 Kmiles a year. And we enjoy all roads even though they sometimes are a challenge to our street bikes.

That's a good road. For the most part, easy corners with no hairpins. I guees the spring foliage is yet to return to the trees. Or has that area been hit hard by bushfire? I must Google up Blowing Rock to learn a little about it - timber, dairy, tourism?

Once again, good vid and thanks for posting it. I really enjoy looking at where you blokes ride.

Cheers

Spring is just beginning, and it is colder in the mountains than where I live in Gaffney SC. Tourism is the main draw there.

Yes, that is 321.

Come on up and I'll show you some roads that make the Dragon look like a freeway!

That's one and the rest of 80 from the blue ridge north across US 19. And how about NC 226A

Have not taken that road before. Looks very twisty on the map.
