>>> What are the best months to ride in the southeast U.S? Just about any time except July and August. There are a few decent days even then, especially if you can ride in the shade in early mornings or late evenings. We'll have some days in the winter when it's too cold/muddy/windy, but basically we can ride year round, except for given days. In the heat of the summer, the highest elevations of the northern NC mountains are downright New England-ish.
Where in Ga are you? We're near Charlotte, about 4-4.5 hours from Atlanta, and our weather is VERY similar. Coastal Savannah is a little milder than us, and it's also about 4 hours away. Janice's weather would be close to south GA, I think. Today is perfect - on the way to 75. This is a bit unusual for this time of the year, but certainly not unheard of. Just wait until the foals come though - we'll be freezing again! :) Karen Thomas, NC
