We did take our rode bikes and did some scenic riding around the park and climbed up Cadillac Mtn fighting gusting winds of 40mph. It made for some interesting descending on the exposed roadway overlooking the coast.
We also did a very gnarly hike up The Precipice and then descended down The Beehive
(The Precipice Trail is the most challenging and well known hiking trail in Acadia National Park with an exposed and almost vertical 1,000 foot climb. It is designated as “strenuous” and is only recommended for physically fit and experienced hikers who have no fear of heights. The Precipice happens to be home to many endangered peregrine falcons.) Needless to say I felt right at home...
Anne and I did a spin on the Skyline Drive in Virginia on the way back to North Carolina. Looking forward to casual riding through the fall.
PS the Blue Ridge is beautiful right now so get out there and enjoy a hike, a spin, or a mtn bike.

That sounds like a perfect trip for you and Anne.
Chandler, Max and I did the Virginia Creeper Trail this weekend, and you are absolutely right, the mountains are positively beautiful right now!
