This morning we rode 35 miles to the Wheels Through Time Museum which is in Maggie Valley, North Carolina (see proceeding blog post). It’s basically a history of Harley Davidson though advertises as being a history of all American motor bikes. It was quite impressive and full of ‘good old boys’ and HD riders with ponytails and grey beards! We both got in for seniors rates. We then rode for about 100 miles through mountain passes in the Nantahala National Forest. Highest we got was nearly 7000 feet – and the roads up and down the mountains were similar to the Pyrenees ie some very tight corners.
Ultimately we did a long stint on an interstate to get us near to Charleston which will be the point were we turn and head slowly back to Chicago. Just as well as it’s on the Atlantic. We’re staying in Orangeburg tonight and have just had a nice steak. Onwards and seawards tomorrow……….
