I've got a couple riding buddies out that way--it's beautiful, especially this time of year. What part of western NC are you in? Is Uwharrie
west for you?
Next weekend is the
Uwharrie rides.

If you're anywhere near Asheville check out the
Blue Ridge Bike Club and don't miss their annual
Beating the Bounds ride.
