WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!!!!Arrived and spotted a familiar face--Richard Sewell,who moved up to north Georgia. Typical fall start--all kinds of bikes being push-started all over the drive-in theater. Miles and miles of "The Dragon" quality paved roads, slippery twisty forest roads, creek crossings, valleys, cliffs, up-down, up-down, noticed elevation sign 4,118 ft., ears popping, almost zero dust(drizzled the day before).
Total ground miles at the end of the day---148.9!!!!!
It was MORE than worth it, and I'd do it again next year.

Hey Mundy, do you know if any of that area is available to ride any time of the year other than this ride?

[mundy]

To the best of my knowledge---YES!!!! The trails were numbered forest roads, BUT, NOT like Florida. These wind around cliffs and ravines. I GPS'd up til a little after lunch, then battery died. Having too much fun to stop and put new ones in!

[Admin]

That's great. We've got family near Tiger and their house would be a good base to ride out of.

Budget in a new rear tire.
