Monday has been the warmest day in Asheville so far so we ventured our way to Mt. Mitchell. Brian met up with us again, riding until Craggy Gardens, leaving us to fend for ourselves to Mt. Mitchell.
The snow covered roads on the other side of Craggy made me nervous so we turned around and headed back to Asheville after about a mile or so. Three plus hours later, at least 17 consistent miles of climbing, we were back for our late afternoon massages.
I would have to say we have stuck to our favorite restaurants from last year. Dinner tonight was at Salsas. I even ordered the same drink; Habanero infused margarita with fresh citrus and Sauza Gold and Licor 13 and the special - Chorizo Enchilada with house made pork chorizo, sour cream, grilled red peppers, pineapple chutney, avocado, adobo sauce and melted cheddar cheese, rolled into a flour tortilla; served with rice, beans, greens and a tamale.
Brad ordered an appetizer; rasta spliff roll with crab, jalapenos, cilantro, saffron-fennel sauce and his dinner was Roasted chicken with wild mushrooms, roasted peppers, grilled onions and annatto-coconut sauce.
