Just Got Back

My wife and I took off last week and rode the entire Blue Ridge Parkway. Then we headed over to Robbinsville, NC and rode the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway. The next morning we rode back to Deals Gap and took 28 all the way through NC until the 65 turnoff. Rode down 65 then hoped on 215 and rode that back up to the BRP. Stopped over in Little Switzerland and rode the Diamondback 226A. Then rode the BRP back to the start. Total trip 2014 miles. Some awesome riding, if you ever get the chance and have not done it you should.

Sounds like an awesome ride. I'm planning to ride down and visit family in Kentucky; this may be a great side trip!

Sounds terrific, I'm doing the dragon and Cherohala in a couple of weeks and I cant wait.

How do you get those pics? I have this notion that there are photographers along the way who snap your pics and then they are stationed at pull overs and you can buy if you want?

Have a great trip and be safe. Make sure you check out Rt28 starting in Deals gap. There are some really nice parts to that road. Also if you are taking the BRP stop in Little Switzerland and ride 226A Diamondback.
