FM1414, Dam B, Pickett House

Today’s ride started out foggy, misty, and being a little under-dressed, chilly (thanks a lot, James Brown).  By 11am, sunshine finally pierced through the clouds and kept us warm and toasty for the rest of this beautiful and wonderful ride!  Boy, we sure saw plenty of riders out there and covered a lotta roads today; yet most of all, what a great way to chase those winter blues away!  Of course, the fried chicken and pickled watermelon rind at Pickett House were Oh-so-good!
