Anyone who is close enough to do this trip it is a great ride. We road up to Tazewell, Virginia and got on number 16 at Frog Level. Road 16 all the way to North Wilksboro, NC. It has some parts that are sharper than the Tail of the Dragon. There is alot of swift running river to be seen and canopy like cover through the Parks and National forests along the way. We did 350 miles today from 10:15am to around 7:30pm. If your ever in the area it is well worth the ride. Alot of breath taking views and elevation changes.

Just thought I would share...

 

Ditto on this road. We rode it last year from Taz down.

 

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Always looking for new rides
