Just a little while before we head off on another trip. This time to Virginia and North Carolina.
For those not in the know, a little group that we hang with called "The Sabrehood" gathers each year in July, usually in Virginia. It's called BRR, Blue Ridge Ride. This year is the first time it's happening in North Carolina, in Maggie Valley. So we're headed there.
I'll be sure to post pictures on my Facebook account, but I'll try to post some here as well.
Should be a good ride, with a two-day stop in Hillsville, Virginia to visit Matt's mom. She's a great hostess, terrific cook and wonderfully entertaining lady.
Then it's off to Maggie Valley. Haven't been to BRR in a couple years (missed last year due to the Vancouver Adventure) so this will be fun to see everyone again.
There are a number of folks who, for various reasons, aren't going to make it. But I've never been able to go on a bike trip without finding some fun. And since we're going with Matt and Lorraine, Jannette and I are sure to have a blast with lots of ribbing and joking along the way.
This one will be about 1,300 miles, and cover roughly 5 days (One day to Virginia, half a day from Virginia to Maggie Valley, and a long, full day home).
So, it's 'kickstands up' shortly. Shiny side up, greasy side down. Check!
