Harley Ride 2009 - Day 6
It stopped raining and we had a beautiful ride this morning leaving Asheville, NC and going SW to Hendersonville, Brevard, past Lake Toxaway, Sapphire, Highlands, Gneiss, Cullasaja, Rainbow Springs, Shooting Creek, Murphy, Ranger, Isabella, Old Copper Road, Water Level Highway. Past places named Horseplay Lane, Cornhusk Lane, Transalvania County, The Jelly House, Bear Wallow, Black gum and my favorite is lickskillet. There is humor in this country. Favorites from yesterday: Deadbeat Petes Restuarant, Nawger Nob, Lazy Horse and Special peoples Park.

We found some dryer roads and winding curves to rub the pegs on this morning.

After lunch we dropped down out of the big hills and into the lower hills where we made a run for Burningham, AL. Boring! Straight roads, Tree lined, white line, yellow line. Thats all there was to look at for 4 hours. Sorry! It is fabulously beautiful, but the tree lined luge run is boring on the back of a bike.

Reflective ride notes: Just over 400 miles today (Don't have exact mileage at this time)
3 gas stops - High $2.69, Low $2.53
Had to fix Ray's shifter again today! This time we bought a new part! Now it's fixed, fixed!
Only got sprinkled on today and it was very warm and humid when we stopped.
We got to stop and see a couple of waterfalls. Because of the rain, they were dirty brown and powerful!
Best thing invented for today: Lemon drops! I sucked on them until my mouth was raw! One for me, one for Kevin! You suck them until they are little and then chomp chomp chomp! Time for a new lemon drop!
