I am in Chapel Hill, TN tonight and want to go to Helen GA in the morning. I don't want to go by interstate 24. Anyone have any good suggestions? what kind of road is 41A?

If you are in Chapel Hill, you are about 20 min from me. The link provided above should be a pretty good ride.

Just curious why avoiding 24? Going up through Monteagle is a blast on 24.

Thank You, I am wondering what kind of road this is. The wife is riding her streetglide on this trip and I don't want to put her in a situation that she won't be comfortable with. She has ridden the dragon and the cherohala(sp) skyway. I was nervous for her if you know what I mean.

Makes perfect sense, I was just curious. I have been down 41 but it has been quite a long time. I would think if she can do the dragon she can do 41. But like I said, its been a good bit. Until 24 came along, 41 was the major highway if that tells you anything.

Next time your up around Chapel Hill PM me, we can grab a beer. Hopefully I will be off my metric and on to a Harley by that time.
