We got a late start as both of Eric's rear derailleur adjusting barrels were broken, causing bad shifting.

Before that repair we installed a tire that had a huge hole. It caused several flats on the ride over.

Since the ride wasn't going to be long or painful enough we put an extra loop on the ride.

 

 



 

These roads take us to the swinging bridge to cross the Toe River.

After riding the bridge myself I notified Eric that doing so was very dangerous!

The boards are going lengthways with big gaps between the boards!

 Stop!

Don't!

Don't stop!

I tried to talk him out of it!

Adults do the silliest things!

Do not do this at home!

We have to get on the Blue Ridge Parkway by crossing the hay field and the fences and turnstiles.









Just a little path to get to the Parkway.

It's just a few miles to another Cane Creek!

We're done son! It's now time for Doc Chey's.
