Noob near Lake Norman, NC

I finally picked up an 08 WRX--these things are hard to find around here (at least for a decent price)--I ended up driving out to TN to get this one.

Working my way through the threads to see what I should turn my attention to first. Pretty sure a new chain and sprockets, swing arm maintenance, and oil change are top on the list.

If anyone knows of any fun dual sport routes around Lake Norman area, I'd love to hear about it.
