Day 6 was Thanksgiving. We had some awesome food. Stuffing, turkey, ham, and waaaayyy toooo much pie. Pecan pie is so awesome. We did a short little road ride to town with the family and then back home but that was about it for the day.
Day 7 was Friday, the day before we left. We went with the family out to the local State Park with the bikes and a picnic. There weren't any real trails out there, just gravel roads through the park. They were pretty nice though. Lots of climbing and some very nice scenery. The pace was easy but I hustled up a few hills to feel the thrill. Not singletrack but a great way to end the trip anyway.
Look at the base of the trees, uphill indeed.
Found time for a photo-op.
Thanks to the Jameses for putting us up and feeding us, great to see them for the holidays, it's been a while.
Sat. we drove from Raleigh to Ruston, about 14 hours total. Man that was a long day. Had some pizza for dinner and called it a night. Sunday we picked up Cotton and headed home. And that was our vacation. All the pictures are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/andrew.bikerpilot/NorthCarolinaVacation08#.
