Yes... I love where I am in relation to the mountains... but due to my
current job.... I am only able to ride on my bike 4 months out of the
year (no not even to work due to the on call nature of the job).  If i
move to the Raleigh area... I will probably be trailering my bike back
down to Charlotte on the weekends to go hit the mountains with friends.
