Another beautiful day for riding, cool
and overcast, just the way I like it. Again, the traffic was very light except
for a short few miles around Knoxville. Once reaching Abingdon VA, I could
leave the highway and begin some enjoyable riding. Heading south toward Mt
Rogers elevations quickly rose to 4,000 ft+, the highest elevated road in the
state of Virginia, then just as quickly descended with many twists and
switchbacks. It was fun until I came upon a car that braked to about 5MPH on
every curve and even braked on a downhill straight away. Obviously not use to
these types of roads and looking close I saw it had a Florida plate! Continuing
on I ride a small section of the Crooked Road before heading up towards White Top
Mt. Those last 50 miles was just a small sample is to come over the next few
days. Tomorrow is the Claw of the
Dragon!
