I posted a couple of pictures from yesterday's post-ride cookout at Alan's garage. They can be found here,
I'll be driving the route next weekend to ensure all the roads are open (hopefully there are no changes, so far
https://drivenc.gov/ doesn't show any road closures). Then in 2 weeks, on the weekend of March 29-30, I'd like to have someone volunteer to pre-ride the route and submit a report that can be shared with others. Let me know if you're interested.
