Club Fall Leaf Trip Report

The Fall Leaf Trip was a stunning success. We timed things perfectly and the colors couldn't have been better. In fact, as the days progressed the colors only got brighter and more beautiful. And, despite threatening weather reports, we ended up having a great week in which we were able to log about 1200 miles of mountain riding.

By the end of the week our very own "Cash" was a demon on those mountain roads. The day we rode a stretch of US 421 that has been dubbed "The Snake", "Cash" managed to file off the edges of his boots just from the amount of lean he was putting into those awesome curves.

Here are some pics from the trip:

The colors seem endless in the view.

You meet the darndest people in the wood of Virginia!
