Thanx to all responding to my western NC post. Good to know. First......to Pam........took your CC class in Clt few years ago. Still benefitting from it. Good friend of David S who I think is member of this group too. To Michael........will keep eyes open for your father here in Brevard. At 73, I'm guessing I'm as old or older than him. :-) To Steve in Asheville. I know the areas you mention well. The hills around here can be brutal, especially for an old slow guy like me.
I've ridden from my home in Brevard to the Parkway (Blue Ridge Parkway) once, up 276 and back down. ~ 40 miles round trip with tough elevation gain, especially the last few miles, before heading back down. Ever thankful for my super comfortable 61 Homer that Keven helped me with back when he was still at Riv. Great guy. I get the usual comments about my bike. Nice bike! How old is it? Among others.
