I'm sorry to hear about your friend and his accident. I hope that his recovery goes well for him.

Riding on country roads is a fear of mine and one that I will have to overcome in the near future as I will be living in North Carolina by the end of August. I am signed up for the MS 150 on September 7th and 8th from New Burn. Is this the one that you are signed up to do as well?
