Asheboro Criterium

Saturday was a cold and rainy day, but the cyclists were out in Asheboro for the inaugural Asheboro Criterium. Riders in several amateur and professional classes raced on a closed .6 mile street course in downtown. The events were a combination of timed rides plus sprint finishes. Great turnout of riders, spectators were a little scarce. They missed an interesting event.

Ocracoke

Located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Ocracoke is an isolated yet extraordinary destination. You have to try hard just to get there (accessible by ferry only), but it is worth the effort. Haven’t been in a while. I really miss it. From my film archives.

Cadillac

Odell Routh had his 56 Cadillac Fleetwood out on Saturday. It was owned originally by his wife’s aunt and uncle Jo and Ed Thompson, who bought it new. I remember the Thompsons driving it to church when I was a young boy.
