'06 Tail of the Dragon

Tail Of The Dragon
(June 10, 2006) - N.C.

First and foremost, I would like to thank all the wives out there that made this ride possible. Letting us get out of town for a full Saturday and staying home to watch the kids, clean the house, do the ironing and make sure we have a nice warm meal on the table "if" we got back meant so much. (I'm a dead man when Janine reads this... hahaha)

The Day
Out by 9am, 402 miles of twists and turns, back by 7:30pm.
We did the Dragon/Cherohala loop (and then some..)

Boy our biscuits were burning after that ride... next time we need to invest in
"Anti Butt Monkey Powder"

The manufacturer of this stuff says that it
“Absorbs excess sweat and reduces frictional skin irritation”.
