A typical scene from a weekend of riding in the North Carolina mountains. This was taken at the midpoint of the Jacks Creek Loop, a well-known ride that starts on the outskirts of Burnsville, NC.
This 37 mile loop was today’s ride. Yesterday we opted for more climbing: 36 miles that started at the Celo Inn, climbed up Hwy 80 and the Blue Ridge Parkway to Little Switzerland, then looped back though a valley and back to Celo.
Saturday’s ride was the first in the mountains for some. Below, Kimber tops the first of the climbs on the BRP.
And further below, Dave and Pam enjoy stopping for lunch.
