Sally and Brian trying to dry out
Me, post run - cold, wet, tired - in need of a HOT shower

i happened upon your post...and have spent many painful hours in the saddle in the franklin/highlands/cashiers area. check out the tour de cashiers--it's in a few weeks--it just misses franklin...lots of good climbs and even better descents. (tourdecashiers.com) happy riding!

Ashley, the pics are great! Loved the mountain ones. I was looking at them, and noticed that I knew one of the guys. David and I met Matt at Northhampton Wines about a yr'ish ago. Very nice guy.
You look VERY cold in that last pic!!
Wow - fantastic pictures, thank you so much for sharing! Yes - it wasn't sunny and hot - but this looked even better, even more magical. Love themountains, the roads look wonderful, and it makes me want to hop on my bike and just GO. (With good company, of course!)
What a great weekend - thanks for posting the pictures! BEAUTIFUL area.
And - fyi. In the last shot, you look like you REALLY need to use the bathroom. That's all I'm gonna say.... love to you! :)
Katherine .... can you email me. I'd like to know more about rides in the NC area !!!! Sallylong.one@gmail.com.
Ash - thank you for the photos. They're great reminders of a wonderful trip. Let's do it again. I love you! Mom.

Oh my gosh that is beautiful! I just love that bike route, thanks for posting... yeah, the sun and ocean are amazing but something about the seasons are too amazing as well. Warm up...!
Hey Ashley!
Thanks so much for the congrats on my blog! It wasn't the greatest conditions, but it was fun! So... you must be THE Ashley I hear so much about! ;)
Marit and I are friends, and Jen H. God bless her is my coach! :) So it's all good! Are you doing St. Anthony's as well? I know a lot of people are going to be down there and I can't wait to meet everyone.
