A couple of weeks ago we were camped in Brevard, NC. This was a stop on our way to Mt. Airy, NC where I’d compete on the NC ASA State Championship. While I didn’t get to shoot in Brevard on this trip I did get to mountain bike and run.

Before either cycling or running Brenda and I took a road trip with out life long friend Ken. Actually, we’ve been friends for 30 years and Ken is god-father to our children. His wife, Dianne, passed away, and she was their god-mother. Our daughter Candace and her daughter Cordelia both have Dianne’s name as their middle name.
I’ve ridden my bike on the Blue Ridge parkway a number of times. But, until this trip I’d not run on the Parkway.

Running on the Parkway was a real pleasure for River. There was no traffic and I was able to let her “Free Range” a bit.
The views were incredible and a run I was glad to have taken.

The run were easily matched by the mountain biking. Ken took me on a trail that have on of the best downhills I’ve ever ridden. My only regret is I didn’t have my GoPro on the bike. Next trip, I’l have it.
