FAST Road Ride with Mike R.
Mike R. and I got a good one in today. It was the first time I've riden with Mike on the road, he just picked up his first road bike, a 90's Steel Fuji with full Campy. Lucky!
We met up at the parkway since he was coming in from the South, I was coming from the West side of A'ville. My route up to that point: Michigan->State->Amboy->?->Biltmore->and up to the parkway through Biltmore Forest. Once on the parkway we headed North all the way to Bull Gap. We took Ox Creek to Reams Creek->Hamburg Mtn->Weaverville Highway->Monticello->River Road back to Asheville->Waynesville up to my house. Crazy Ass Mike continued on the 15 or so miles back to Arden from West Asheville. Awesome ride.
Here's the profile (of my ride) 44.5 miles with about 5920' of climbing:

Oh, here's a fun video from another ride. I usually don't mention our hooptie rides but this one was fun. Erinna, Ian L., and I got tickets to see the Smashing Pumpkins last night at the Orange Peel. Here's Erinna cruising through downtown Asheville on her 1970 Columbia Sports III on the way to the show:
Here's a vid I found from inside the show:
