FDR Sate Park is in Pine Mountain which is also near Callaway Gardens and the Little White House. All worth a trip in and by themselves. Pine Mountain is about 35 miles from Concord. The Azelleas in Callaway Gardents may be starting to bloom by the 15th.

I may try to bring a friend or two down and try to join you. We rode the Metric Century in Bleckley and were going to try to ride one this next weekend, but work is getting in the way. I'll let you know if we are coming, sure could use the break, and the miles.

Well, it looks like me and the wife will be there :D It's going to be a 1300 mile round trip for it, though....:eek: It's going to make for a nice break from this terrible nasty Indiana Winter Weather though. :D

What other BF'ers are going to be there? I'll be easy to recognize....a black Specialized Allez and either Tour de Cure kit or the 1980 Soviet Cycling Team Jersey (Presuming that isn't too controversial).
