Asheville and 85 degrees.

[Venturous Randy]

Linda and I took a ride across the mountain on some real curvy roads that make The Dragon look like an interstate. We crossed the Blue Ridge Parkway and rode down highway 80 into Marion, NC. What was amazing was at one time we saw 85 degrees on the thermometer. Most of the ride was in the upper 70's, but is some spots it was warmer. We got home about an hour after dark and it was still 73 degrees.

We stopped at the KOA East and reserved our campsite, D21 by the pond and on Friday I am going to talk to the manager to make sure that area is set aside for our group. This is for the weekend of August 13/17.

Randy,what time was you on 80? I rode up 80 at 1:30 got on the parkway then back down 226a.i was in the PORSCHE and on those roads you don't have much time to look and see what kind of bike you just passed.

It was probably closer to 4:30pm and we then ate at the Fish/steak restaurant on the west side of Black Mountain. Wish we could met up with you.
