Default SC-NC to the Dragon

We are going from Myrtle Beach SC to Deals Gap NC on May 6th for 3 nights. Staying @ Ironhorse in Stecoah. This is a open trip anyone can come just pm me if you want to join.. We are also open to meeting people along the way within reason. This is a RIDING trip not a bar hopping trip... We did this same trip in September and it is awesome.. Western NC is Motorcycle bliss.

and you will not be disappointed ... it's a fold out map illustrating roads in the area and outlines the average time needed to complete a ride and the distance of the ride. It also combines rides that you might like to take, like the Dragon and the Cherohala. The roads on the map side are color coordinated with the time and description on the back side of the map. It is money well spent!

It is great, we stayed there in September for 4 nights and had a blast.. We camped so it was like $8 a night.. My buddy forgot the top part of the tent and they gave us a tarp(we never needed it) without us even asking.. Good people
