I rode it today. We are having a heat wave here in South Carolina. It was supposed to be over 100 degrees F today. I didn't wait for it. I left around 9am and rode towards the Blue Ridge Parkway to beat the heat. Found some new roads (that's what gps is for), all two lane country roads, even in shade. Got to Hendersonville NC around 12:30, then onwards to Blue Ridge Parkway. Since next weekend I'll be riding the Dragon and other roads in the direction of Cherokee during our rally, I decided to ride to Mount Mitchell. It was a beautiful day, no rain anywhere. My F6B indicated 69 degrees F at Mount Mitchell.

Then I rode back to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. It was only about 6pm and I wasn't tired, so I decided to ride back home (another 160 miles). I intended to stay the night somewhere but went home instead. What can I say, I'm cheap. Made it home around 9:25pm. I did take the highway as it got dark due to fear of deer at night on those backroads.

All in all another great ride!
