Back in North Carolina for the weekend, got the bike out on December 11 for a one hour ride to "rotate the tires". Rolled down Flowes Store Road and took a ride down some backroads. Two reasons for that: one is that I like riding the backroads, and two on a day like that was, nice not to roll any faster than needed. Wind chill is a combination of temperature and wind speed, and wanted to keep my generation of wind speed down as much as possible. Did enjoy the ride though, always nice to get out, and when you spend so much time far away, any ride is a good ride. The photo at left was taken in Harrisburg, NC and is a recreated cabin under construction.
Also at the same site is this old building. I believe it is a Post Office/General Store; both the cabin and the store have been a work in progress for some time. Went back basically the same way I came to the house with a few different turns. I did stop and see the site of a bad house fire I heard about last week at Zion Church/Central Heights; house was well and truly burned to the foundation for the most part, had to be a really bad fire. I had read about it, seeing it was something else. Got back in an hour, which frankly even though I was well dressed for the conditions was a good enough ride. Rain on Sunday ended any chance of another twist of the throttle for the weekend, but the ride was good, and enjoyed the time on the bike.
