October 15, 2012 - Three State Tour

The group left Beckley, WV yesterday heading south to some prime riding territory.  The first leg of the ride took them through scenic Virginia.

They eventually made it to Tennessee to grab a ride on The Snake (US421).  Of course they made the obligatory stop at the The US 421 Country Store in Shady Valley, TN, which sits about half-way between South Lake Holston and Mountain City, TN.  It is a great ride in either direction.

The day concluded with a ride to Pineola, NC where they took up lodging for the next three nights in the new cabins at the Pineola Inn.

October 14, 2012 - New River Gorge

The boys left Elkins, WV this morning, heading southeast to the New River Gorge Bridge outside of Fayetteville, WV.

Looks like Eddie found a couple of ladies to help hime recover from the rigors of the road.

Afterwards, they road one really crooked road down to the bottom of the gorge, then moved on to Beckley, WV for the night.

It was about 150 miles as the crow flies, but then, who rides as the crow flies?

October 14, 2012 - Fall Color Tour

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend due to other appointments.  However, Bill, Boyd, Eddie, Paul, Danny and who knows who else left Friday morning on their annual Appalachian motorcycle color tour.

It started with a short ride to Sanford, FL where their motorcycles were crated for a ride north on the auto train.

It was then time to settle in for the ride north.

Paul, Danny and Boyd enjoy the wine and cheese.

Saturday was spent riding to their overnight stop in Elkins, WV.  And, today they are ready to roll out early.

Good luck and safe riding.
