Maps of the upcoming Blue Ridge Parkway ride

In less than two weeks I will board the Mighty Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 to Georgia Rob's abode in north Georgia. These maps below represent a large chunk of our day 1 ride...from Cherokee, NC to Boone, NC, exclusively upon the famed Blue Ridge Parkway. First the overall map, then 5 maps showing the ride route from Cherokee to Boone in order.

Not dead yet

Hi friends :) I have not updated this blog site in quite some time. Just wanted you to know I am not dead yet. Still alive and kicking in mostly sunny central Florida.

Onward to suckle upon roads paved with the peach

In a scant 12 hours I shall be sitting in the Orlando airport, heading to Atlanta, GA.
Shortly thereafter I will be spirited away about an hour north to Dahlonega, GA, nestled in mountainous terrain and collecting my 2002 Moto Guzzi V11 LeMans.

My 500 miles ride back home will consist of a bounty of curves and the scents and sounds of nature and a Moto Guzzi V-Twin. Indeed and forsooth, as Capn Jim would say.

My new saddlebags have arrived and they will carry my meager belongings upon the sturdy back of the LeMans as I traverse the concrete southward.

I shall return, renewed with the spirit and vigor of the grand marque of Italy coursing through my veins. Viva Italia! Forza Moto Guzzi!
