Blue Ridge Parkway

Monday was a great day for a ride here, but even a better day in the mountains.  I opted for a run from Cumberland Knob to Doughton Park and back, but felt good enough for a few extra miles when I got back to the X.   I had to get some gravel in, and a beautiful gravel road was discovered, Crownridge.  Heavenly, parallel to the parkway road that has quite a few steep ups and downs on it.  I may be the only person moronic enough to get my legs torn up by thorns and stinging nettles on a road ride.  The temptation to check out one of the streams alongside the Parkway was too much for me to bear.  Alas, no trout spotted in what looked to be a very likely spot.  All in all a good day on the bike, a few photos to share:
