Well, it was chilly starting out - low 50's and by mid-day and mid-NC it finally got up to ~70. The ride across VA from I-77 to Marion was awesome!! We were on a good number of windy country roads and the smells were even better. The Dragon was excellent as well. Not much traffic, not much gravel and the scenery was terrific! Once we got to Tazewell we hopped onto 460 and traffic was gruesome. We finally got to Mt Sterling just after 2100 (almost 13 hours of riding). Tomorrow we'll do Court Day and Sunday we'll do the N/Central KY portion of the ride.2008 Red GW1800 -- NRA Life Member - American Legion PUFL, American Legion Riders

Got back this evening after riding around KY yesterday and coming back down the Back of the Dragon towards home. NO traffic on the Dragon and going southbound was even better than riding it northbound (which I had done twice on different rides). There were even a couple spots going southbound where it was good I don't suffer from vertigo. Awesome!2008 Red GW1800 -- NRA Life Member - American Legion PUFL, American Legion Riders
