I got together with a fellow XSive for some riding in the North Georgia Mountains. Mike Farrington (MFarrington) and I met in Dawsonville this morning and spent the day testing our tires on went pavement. It was just drizzle, so it didn't spoil the fun. The roads were still still twisty and the scenery was beautiful. The photo is our parting shot, taken at RIB COUNTRY in Cleveland, GA. It was all good fun, food, and fellowship!
