It was a gorgeous day to storm Thunder Ridge on the Blue Ridge Parkway with a great group of friends. I never tire of looking at the Blue Ridge mountain range from the foothills, especially the Peaks of Otter. The views from the Parkway were very clear, not too much haze and you could definitely tell why they are called the Blue Ridge Mountains. Casey Fulton was the youngest rider to ever complete the century and it was his first century. He blew the ride up and made his dad work hard to keep up! He won a $100 gift card for the being the youngest rider. Nice! Folks on the ride from Tidewater area: Dave, Jeni, Jerry, Brent, Casey, Roberts, Brittany, Connie, Tim, James, Jay Tate, Ashley, Shelby, Michael Smith. Everett Petterson from Blacksburg joined us, too.
