This was a great motorcycle ride. I rode 2156 miles, and Carolyn rode all but about 500 of those miles. I met Jerry Sobieski in Morgantown, WV. He had driven out from near Washington, DC with his son Lars. Carolyn flew to DC and we drove to the Outer Banks, visiting a Civil War site along the way. We had a wonderful (and very relaxing) time at Doug and Andrea's place on the Outer Banks, and then saw wonderful scenery from the coast to the Smokys and all the way home.
Nice ride with no rain
Met Jerry and his son Lars
Had a nice dinner in Morgantown
Really nice country
Lots of rain
Stopped to get gas and noted a sucker's hole come by
Took advantage of the sucker's hole, but later paid the price
One ridge was completely clouded in
Stopped at a McDonalds because we couldn't see
After 45 minutes, rode the rest of the way to Jerry's house
Had a nice lunch with Jerry's family
Wimped out on getting to DC - Jerry and I rode in car to the SMM
Left my bike at Jerry's, in good hands

Met Carolyn at about 1:00pm at Hotel
Rearranged packing - Glad to see Carolyn brought books and magazines
Spectacular ride
Except, stopped to change glasses, coats in Williamston, NC
Failed to strap down duffle, which fell off (aka Jerry)
Walked 2 miles to find it - guy in truck brought it to me - sigh
Embarrassed if Jerry ever finds out about this
Lost an hour and wasn't able to make it to Doug and Andrea's
Also lost 1 glove and sunglasses
Nice ride, but thought we were lost - not so
Moreover, there was a Harley ralley on the Outer Banks
Doug and Andrea's place is spectacular
The most relaxing vacation I've had in years
Great ride across North Carolina, with many views
Waited out the rain from Sunday night to early afternoon on Monday
On leaving, there was ice on the bike - hmmm!
Waited till 10:00am to leave - cold
Coastal area, swamps, hills, and on toward the mountains
Severe front approaching, but got to Greensboro before rain
Rode about 20 minutes in heavy rain in Greensboro
Decided to go on and made it to Winston-Salem, NC
Good connectivity - caught up on my email
Hit a 20 minute rain squall - could not see for a while and stopped
After that, a beautiful ride - what wonderful country!
Riding up over the Smoky's, it was cold from the start
It was clear and beautiful, however
Near the top, the rain had turned to ice - about a mile out
It was a very hard ride - ice all over the road
The road to Clingman's Dome was closed - apparently cars off road
We stopped at Newfound Gap, with ice all around
Talked to several other bikers - one had digital - 23F degrees!
Jerry would have wimped here - too cold
Cold hands and everyting else
Started down a harrowing ride for about a mile - finally cleared up
Stopped at the visitors center, just to get warm
Stopped at Pidgeons Fordge for coffee and tea, just to get hands warm
Rode to Knoxville and had a wonderful lunch will Ana in Knoxville
Tennessee was spectacular
Rode on toward Lexinton, KY
Got really cold in the end - almost Sobieski cold
It was a really great ride, all be it a cold day
Cold the whole way, but clear and beautiful
Huddled over warm coffee and tea several times
