This week is almost over but lots has happened. School is starting, tomorrow the kids come for half a day. John , Joe, Betty Jane and myself decided last week to take off on a ride for a few days. I was so excited to get away...think they were also. So, Friday morning we loaded up and headed north........north of Mississippi that is. We were looking for anywhere that was cooler than 105...........John checked the weather and saw the best temps were in TN and NC. He has been wanted to go up there and ride the Dragon Tail for a while now. For those of you that dont know of the "Dragon" it is a road with 318 curve with steep incline mountians over a short 11 miles. You can do the math and see it is continous curves and rolls. At the end we got T shirt to say we rode the Dragon and survived........believe that is not an easy thing.
Then we rode some more great mountain roads, stopped at this gorge ,and headed home.........As soon as we came down into GA......the heat was on again.
We had many good laughs .....most of them at my expense. John and Joe give me a lots of mess, they love to pick on me. Enjoyed riding my new bike...got a few little things to get worked out , but had lots of power and seat was comfortable.
I had to go back to work this week.......have gotten all my stuff ready for the kids tomorrow.
