Riding Carolina: April 10

As mentioned in the previous post, Phil (seen at right with his Star motorcycle) and I headed out on a very nice Sunday afternoon ride. We met up at RideNow and rolled out down some of the great backroads along the way. It was a beautiful day with sunny skies and some fairly warm temperatures. Do have to note though, it was summerlike the following day with temperatures in the 80's. Still, it was very nice and traffic was really lite at 2pm. We rolled up into the little community of Faith, NC past a very cool old church, and wandered down some roads that I (even though I have been in NC for over 12 years now) have never been on. That was pretty cool!
This is me on my motorcycle (photo by Phil) again taken at the start of the ride. I have had the bike since 2005 and it has been an outstanding motorcycle (in a long line of outstanding motorcycles). During the course of the ride we covered some 70 miles, and enjoyed a post ride tea at Bojangles before calling it a day near 5pm and heading back home. Last photo is of Pete's Barbeque in China Grove, NC. Carolina is famous for its barbeque and Pete's is a great place to eat (though like many places in North Carolina it is closed on Sunday). When it is open though, it is packed! We had a great time, but there was more to come the following day!
