Rainy Day Non-triumph Ride

Took my four wheeled non-Triumph out since it was going to pi$$ down all day.I started out with a proper breakfast at a little cafe called Old Town Pancake House in Jonesborough, Tn. The lemon blueberry pancakes were amazing!


I then headed to an area called Linville Gorge Wilderness, about an hour from home. There is a lot of hiking, rock climbing, and wilderness hiking in the area. The Linville River runs through it, 2000 feet down in the valley. This is near the towns of Boone and Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. These pics are from an area called Wisemans View.


After some hiking and getting drenched in a downpour that would end up lasting most of the rest of the day I headed out to explore some of the mountain roads in the area.


Once back on pavement I found myself near the Blue Ridge Parkway and a favorite spot called Little Switzerland. It is a tiny community of just over 40 permanent residents, but gets a ton of tourist traffic.


The Switzerland Cafe has some great food. I finished off this smoked trout BLT with a nice beverage.


All in all, it was a great day out even with the rain. I travelled about 200 miles of some nice curvy roads that I will be returning to with two wheels. The gravel roads will definitely have me considering a Tiger or Scrambler added to the garage in the future.

Posted this on another thread, but after some thought decided to add it as its own thread.
