Default Great Trip!

Wife and I spent 5 days riding all over the smokies, about 1100 miles of mountain rides using the awesome riders map we got at one of the local biker places in Maggie Valley! She made me ride the dragon both ways one day she was having so much fun!


She thinks shes in a rocking chair, lol!
