Had a fun little ride on the playground yesterday evening before the sun went down.... headed up NC 226A which is always a favorite cuz it's soooo empty every time. I wanted to come back down NC 80 which is another favorite, but it was starting to get dark so I just came back down the same way. I don't haul ass on the street so it's not a fast knee dragging kind of ride, just having fun at a safe reasonable pace and working on my body positioning and trying some new stuff I learned sitting in on one of Lee Parks "Total Control" classes last weekend (hence I got the wiggles a few times, and missed my lines a few times too trying different things, lol)

I was playing around with my GoPro camera since I haven't used it in awhile, and trying it in a few different spots on the bike. I think I like this one...

Going up the mountain (the really good part of the road starts at about 1/3 of the way into the vid or so)
