I managed to get the week off work. I packed up the blue CTX1300 Saturday morning and took off to see some Spring colors.
Photos are slowly being uploaded to SmugMug. Broadband is not available in my neighborhood, so it will take a few days for all of the pictures to be available. Vacation May 2015 - TennesseeSmith
I rode in Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The ride covered 1857 miles of mostly two-lane scenic roads. I tried my best to stay off the four-lane. Some of the roads I chose in West Virginia were not really paved as much as the CTX would have preferred. I was on the road for five days and four nights. I stayed in hotels instead of camping on this trip.
The weather was great with cool mornings and clear skies. I had half an hour of rain as I sat in the hotel on the last night.
The big adventure was a punctured rear tire. I was amazed at how helpful total strangers can be in a situation like this.
I visited Gettysburg and I rode Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway from one end to the other. I also visited The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
More details will follow.
