This ride has become my annual shakedown ride after a winter of limited riding. I'm fortunate that the Southern terminus for this ride is just a few miles from the house. With the exception of about 10 miles of 4 lane divided hwy it's all 2 lane road full of twisties and sweepers.

The ride takes you to Highlands, NC (elv.4100ft), thru the Cullasaja River Gorge and along the Little Tennessee River.



Of course the prize is at the end-"The Tail of the Dragon".

Being so early in the year I almost had the Dragon to myself.
Happy to see they have repaved a stretch North of Highlands and road construction was finished North of Franklin. Eight hours, four states and 268 miles r/t, a nice day in the saddle.
A bumper stick I noticed on the ride.

Sounds like fun.
My ice is finally melting from my garage, I might actually be able to get one or both bikes out tomorrow, then spring service......

Dave, thanks for the tip. Looks like a fun road, especially along the lake.
