GOE XIV: Day 3-Back to the Blue Ridge

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

The GOE for 2009 was held by Chapter 09 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and it started a new tradition: Tye Dye Tuesday. I guess the shirts from the Indianapolis Version of GOE did have one bright spot, and it is swirled red, white and blue.

For us, it would be another trip up the Blue Ridge, from where we had just come the day before. I didn't mind, I was not leading, and therefore the risks of disaster were lower.


A good bonus of the hotel was a parking garage, dark, and cool most of the time during the day.

I got my lovely riding partner to take some pictures along the way, she did a great job!
This shot was taken while we were moving past this overlook.

It was going to be another hot one, and it was nice to get back into the shade of the parkway. We stopped for lunch at one of the eateries along the parkway.


After lunch, the group split, part going the rest of the way up the Blue Ridge, where we had just been, and the other half headed back to the hotel. The trip was hot, but a pool was waiting for us at the end of the ride.
