You wont be far from the tail of the dragon, in Robbinsville, NC. Hit it on a weekday and avoid all the traffic.

Definitely hit the tail. Lots of AWESOME riding in that area. I was out there about a month ago and it riding heaven for sure. If you ride the tail, theyll even take your picture! Heres the wife and I from last month.

Nice list. 28 is a blast(better than the tail IMO) and the skyway is a must. The stretch between the tail and the big dam(not the "fugitive" but the one above it) is great riding too.

If you hit the Tail on a weekend, the cops are usually keeping a close eye on things-don't get crazy. I don't know about during the week.
I didn't have any trouble on the Blue Ridge Pkwy and we were going at a pretty good clip. That was 2 years ago so, things may have changed. Normally if you aren't going more than 10 over the speed limit you won't have a problem as long as you aren't doing stupid stuff.
