NC Pics

I borrowed the wife's digital camera for one of the rides I was able to sneak in on the family vacation. These pics were taken on the climb from Balsam, NC to Waterrock Knob. I think it's just over 3,000 feet at Balsam, and, according to the sign, 5820 in the parking lot at the top. Let's see if this works.

A sign pointing North on the Blue Ridge Mountains...?! Can't be...!! There is only South on the Blue Ridge Mountains, atmo. Just kidding... Great place, one of my favorite's ever. Nice ride, nice bike too. Thank you for the pictures.

Hey, I've got a Serotta. The CSi is fixed these days, running a 47 x 17--afraid I might have to go to ... um, er, like an 18 or thereabouts for this sort of a climb. Yeah, that's it.

Just how thereabouts? Thereabouts a 27 or 29 or 32 or so?

That looks so green, clean and cool! Tell me it wasn't hot. I'm dying in the heat here. Looks like a great ride!

Not hot at all--I did it late in the afternoon and it was actually slightly chilly in the shaded bits on the upper half of the climb; not enough to be uncomfortable in short sleeves, but I felt like the leg warmers were probably the right decision.
