Just a teensie little teaser from Vacation

I will be posting a complete ride report sometime tomorrow, but here's a little teaser video.

The View from the top of Lookout Mountain and a bit of the footage from Tour de Pike. I have the handlebar cam to download yet, as well as the wife's video.

Re the tornado....

No, I was about 50-60 miles south and could see the storms and lightning on the northern horizon.

V1k1ng, that's ModoVincere in the Orange. KP doesn't like his image on the net.

You were mighty close to my neck of the woods during the tornadoes. I've been up Lookout mountain several times and I bet it was a hoot going up it on a bike.

I think riding up to the top of Lookout Mountain would have triggered a migraine for me. I remember bits of it being horribly steep. Not to mention scary from the traffic .

Enjoyed the piper, too!
