Fall Road Trip

Went on a fall road trip which involved riding my bicycle in the Hilly hundred tour of southern Indiana, 100 miles in 2 days on some pretty big hills. I then headed to the Great Smoky Mountains. Visited with my good friends and got to bicycle the Cades Cove area surrounded by fall colors.
A chilly start

Then some rain

Weather got better and the hills got bigger

About 8000 bicycles participated

Some really beautiful scenery

Yep , im still smiling about mile 80

Mt Tabor , the most grueling hill of the tour

Cades cove in the great smoky mountains









Up in the mountains

Hey you are looking great Dave!
That sounds like a lot of pedaling.
This Sunday will be our 35th wedding anniversary, and 35 years ago we went to the Smokey Mountains for our honeymoon. It is gorgeous in the fall!
