Hi, all!  Long time no see, long time no post. Well I couldn't resist touching base with everyone today to say hi, and to tell you that we miss all of our Florida riding friends. Since we had a couple of our FL buds here with us today, I just had to come out of my hillbilly haven to post.  Many of you have been to Hot Springs, NC in the summer, but have you been there in the middle of winter?  This was our first time too.  Since it was in the 50s today, Todd & I, and Bob & Michele rode the Rattler today to meet Greg and Sandy for lunch. So here's some pics for ya.

Some of the old bunch from FL, together again:  Todd, Bob, Michele, Greg, Sandy




Besides our Valk and Bob's Wing, there was a surprising number of bikes in the lot today:







The fellas said you would be interested in this old-school Triumph:




And yes, that white stuff on the side of the road is snow:






And those are some major icicles (Watch out, Ralphie! You'll put your eye out!):




Although the leaves are off the trees, the scenery here is still outstanding:








We hope to see some of you this spring or summer!  If you're going to be in Maggie Valley or surrounding area, please drop us a line so we can meet for a ride.  cooldude

I was up to Blue Ridge last weekend , just in time for the snow .  We didn't have the bike and were able to travel about in the truck with no problems. I enjoy the scenery, any chance we have up in the mountains . Though I think, I prefer winter because you can see the landscape with leaves fallen.
 thanks for sharing your pics.

Been thinking of the two of you and hoping you're able to cope with the winter weather . Glad to see some of the gang able to make it to the mountains and actually ride this time of year. Have fun and ride safe. cooldude
