STAR 2007 re-ride
« on: May 14, 2019, 08:53:04 PM »
2007 was the year we moved from NC back to ND. It was also my first STAR. The routes were epic, and Asheville has lots to offer after the ride. So, I returned there with my brother in law some years ago and rode the routes again (gotta love GPS).

My son graduated from college on Mother’s Day and we are taking a 2-week vacation, starting this Saturday. We are trailering so we can maximize the amount of time on the sides of our tires.

The first week, we’ll spend in Asheville. We are even staying at the Crown Plaza.

The second week, we are going to be based in Eureka Springs. I’ve been there 4 times already.

Looking forward to sharing these experiences with my son before he starts in the real world! 

If you happen to see a silver Sprint and a red Thruxton in NC or AR, that’ll be us!! Give a wave and flag us down.

Thanks, Doug

I have the routes from STAR, and for sure plan to take him to Deal’s Gap, Cherohala Skyway, and Maggie Valley to take in the Wheels Through Time.

If you have any other suggested “must rides” that would be much appreciated.
