Road Ride? Whatcha' talkin' 'bout?
Erinna and I just got back from a fun fast early morning road ride. We started at a few minutes before 6 am. Our route was pretty easy to follow, Erinna's two-hour ride: Clingman to downtown, Charlotte to Sunset, Sunset to Town Mountain via Old Toll. Town Mountain to the Parkway Southbound, past the Folk Art Center and to Biltmore Forest. Biltmore Forest to Biltmore to that road that turns into River Road to Amboy, State, Michigan, and back home! 2 hours, 5 minutes (I must slow her pace down by five minutes). Excellent ride on the Orange Multibeast with my sweetie. What a great way to start the day! 29 miles, 4500 feet of climbing, 2:05.
Here's a shot of Erinna at the Town Mtn Road / Blue Ridge Parkway intersection:
