Enjoyed some great riding over the Easter weekend. On Saturday April 7 I rode out to Goose Creek Airport off of Lawyers Road near Stallings, NC. Lawyers is one of my favorite roads, twisty and very scenic. The airport is one of many and is one of my favorite stops.
On Easter Sunday went through Concord, Kannapolis, Landis, and China Grove, NC...some really cool small towns. Have spent the last few weeks in Charlotte, and wanted to get out "in the country" a bit. I got some great photos during the ride(s) and have those on my Photo Page (link at the top of this page).
I love aviation, always have. In fact both the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss (two of the pioneers of aviation in the US) learned a lot from "two wheels"-the Wrights from bicycles, Glenn from motorcycles. Like a plane we turn and bank, and certainly both ride the wind though in different forms. Part of the fun of riding is to check out different things- and watching some takeoffs and landings from a number of interesting planes was a great deal of fun.
Got some great rides coming up, and will be going to some interesting places this month-I hope you can come back and see some of them here in the next few posts.
Also of note, the MotoGP season got underway Easter Sunday, and those races are being covered again this year on Speed Channel, be sure to check their web site for those and other upcoming races.
