just puttin' around in WNC

Love Hookers Gap, great short cut to avoid Asheville from the 151 to points N.

It is hard to find if you don't know where it is as the street signs keep getting stolen

Great pic Silke Thanks for sharing

Y'all are just jealous of all the attention my pasty white legs got there!

Cuttle, just found this thread. Love it! I'm envious of the riding you guys get in WNC.

Where is this house?




And Marshall has one of my favorite places to get food to-go. Whenever MrsDonkeys and I are up that way, we snag a few pot pies.

The house is on 213 near Marshall (boring road though) - but I was a bit late and I can do the good stuff there any day.

Pie is good!

If there is a historical organization in the county,and the house can be traced to some historical event,they may be able to help restore and save the house.I have been through Marshall a few times over the years.

It doesn't appear to be on the market as far as I can tell. I have a fondness for old homes and have passively been looking for a project for future retirement now, while the market is still down.

as pretty as the house is, the location is not good at all (close to the road and lower than the tarmac). There is a really neat, empty house in similar style on hwy 23 - but I have no idea if it's for sale (I assume it's part of a big acreage.. so everything is possible)

went to the RA rally at Biltmore for a bit and watched the "GS Giants games". Unfortunately I missed yesterdays track competition... damn work!

Dan aka GSweave on the right before the slow race



don't know his name - but he did great in the barrel race (apparently I make a great barrel weight )



some folks did not quiet as good



on the way home



oh, and only a Moran would ride a Morini to a BMW rally (they had plenty of beemers there already....)



and tonight sky

We had the same sky last night in FL. Of course, I wouldaratherbeenin N C ;-)

Hey, do you WNC folks still meet up at the Wedge every Wednesday night? I've got to make a trip to Eurosport, and am considering making a night of it next week.

I heard they only meet when BgDadddy isn't going to show up.

I can't expect the fine folks of eurosport to rush on behalf of me. I might as well give them some extra time and enjoy a few brews.

cool! this Wededay?

Next week, July 3rd. This is all assuming I get my Jeep running before then. No Jeep means no trip.

Way to much rain lately, so I didn't' get a change to ride a lot, but I did do some long overdue bike projects:

moving and adding buckles to stop the tanbag from sliding around



changing my seating position from Western (knees sticking out) to English (legs tight) - and it helps a bunch with touching the ground



fixin' some stuff I broke (house rules: you break it - you fix it)



yeah I know - reading glasses



and .... no more knobbies - but something really fun for the road and ok on hard-pack gravel: Conti Trail Attack 2



front tire next, oil-change, few more maintenance things and I am ready for a tour de lobsta....

Wicked.

Good deal Silke ..

And yes I agree on the cheaters .. It sux ...
I had to start to use cheaters 5 yrs ago....
