Title: It's not fair
Post by: weymouth399 on August 30, 2011, 08:52:03 PM
Just got back from Bristol (great race) but the roads around there are unbelievable  :i_am_so_happy:
I did 600 plus miles while I was there. 500ish with the wife, she was a good sport :yes:.
But the ride I did alone was unreal, 421 from Bristol to Boone and back. That is one of the best roads I've road my FJ on ever. There is 2 11 mile sections OH MY  :yahoo: :yahoo:(I wish I was going to the ECFR)
5 states, lots of mountain passes, perfect weather, awesum bike, as close to zen as you could get.

Popped your Shady Valley cherry, huh?

Those two sections of 421 are an ECSR staple...    :good2:

just had a similar experience in Ontario Canada..my son and I did a 900 km ride around Lake Simcoe and up to Bancroft..perfect everything.  The old FJ just purred along.  Got within 3km of my home, passed a clunker...was just pulled back in slowing from the pass and got nailed for speeding... :dash1:
