Heck, we rode over the second tallest bridge in the USA, the one that is built into the top of Fontana dam.

Actually, we also rode over literally hundreds of bridges as they are common as rivers and creeks in the NC Mountains.

This is a bridge ....







Bridges don't get you no brownie points, ya gotta think of something else.

As far as the Dragon goes, we rode ALL the bike roads that are well known on the East Coast and we ranked them according to difficulty.  

The Dragon is the biker's way to get to Tennessee, so it would be sorta dumb not to ride it and instead to take the interstate instead ???  

Nah,

You is grasping at straws now, we got chipmunks and squirrels but nobody would let me take their pictures (too kind hearted as they wuz all runned over by then).

Yup, your little girl was cute -- but she wasn't riding a bike, she was riding in a car --- so she cannot be counted in the cute stuff.   That's stacking your own deck so's to speak.



Let me switch the invitation around and see if you could come on even a one day ride with Zuk and MM and me .....  

How are you at racing around hair pin turns on roads that are wet with cloud mist, and scattered with slick leaves and hickory nuts?

Speaking of bridges....
Here's a short video of a group of savages and a bridge to nowhere. MMRanch was leading, followed by Lancer, Serenity, Verslagen, and I was in the back with the camera. Somewhere in Tenn. I think.
