hubcap home safe from Maggie Valley ride...

[hubcapsc]

Lunch (a banana, a granola bar and a bottle of water) on the BRP on the way up.



It is not hot on the BRP 



We had a small group show up at the motel in Maggie Valley, and a good ride today...



Once we came down off the Parkway, I lead everyone through some of the roads I posted about
last week... they said they're weren't bored  off the parkway it was broiling, especially
the last 20 or so miles home... but I'm sure glad it is summer anyhow 



Hope everyone else is home safe...

Hey Mike,
I made it home around 6 pm. I think I might of lost a wheel weight during the ride today. When I got on a smooth road I could feel the front tire off balance. I will get it checked in the morning. Thanks for taking us on a nice ride today, it's always a pleasure riding with you.

I got in about four. It was so hot I canceled my plan to stop in Marion and get some of my favorite ice cream. You have to eat it outside. I came on home and stood in front of the AC.
Thanks for leading us on a good ride. Shame it couldn't have stayed cool like it was up at he highest point on the BRP.

I figured that was what you were up to

I felt like a fan was blowing hot air out of the oven on me all the way home...

After I got a cold bath me and Carolyn went and got a milkshake... hope Ronnie got some
ice cream eventually...
