October Fall Colors Ride 2023
Fall Colors ride continued:
Above 3500 feet the temps really dropped off. We were comfortable, but I switched on the heated seat and heated grips. They added a nice level of comfort.
We rode up to Doughton Park, made a U-Turn and came back to Freebornes for lunch.
At the 3700-foot mark the winds came back and were easily 15-18 mph.
Given to BRP road closures I have been very pleased with the support that the restaurant at Doughton Park has received. Their #2 and #3 park areas were just about full today.

Fall Colors Ride 2023 Continued
Continued:
It's lunch time, and if you follow us, you know we like Freebornes!
When we arrived, there were a dozen cars, two Sheriff vehicles and 6 motorcycles. It was packed inside, and we got the last table. We were a little late and it started clearing out quickly before we got our food.
We love Diane and all the staff there. They do a great job, and the food is always very good.
There were several bikes stopping in and leaving out. One guy was on an old Honda 350 that was converted to an adventure style bike.

Pro Action Suspension
Pro Action Suspension ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
The Blue Ridge Parkway is in sad condition. It's nice having suspension that just allows you to enjoy the ride and not constantly be weaving around to avoid all the bumps.
The total mileage for Sunday on the BRP was 140.4 miles.
Thanks for riding along.

Great photos! Looks like some nice color developing on the Parkway and at higher elevations. Wife and I arrived at our destination north of Asheville yesterday and got settled in. Looking to ride all week with great weather. No specific ride plan...just wherever the adventure leads us.
Enjoy
