I am looking for GPS Points for the Gauntlet and the Tail of the Dragon. Does anybody know of a site that lists these?

Default This is the kinda thing I am looking for.

This is the kinda thing I am looking for. I am making it myself but it is painstaking... I put GPS points at each turn then load em in my GPS as Waypoints... Then push go and make my turns stress free...

Have to agree. There is no time to look at anything, too distracting and would lead to an accident. You only really need the GPS coordinates to get to the Deals Gap Resorts and the end in Tennessee. In between those two points you cant go anywhere else anyway.

If you wanted those coordinates I could get them from my GPS this evening and post them.

Easiest way to remember is just after you turn right, turn left, then right, then left......I'm sure others get the picture. Don't forget to counter steer.

Lol...that is a certainty...I rode the Dragon many times, my biggest regret is that I did not buy a one piece leather riding gear with the red dragon on the back from the little store at the start of the ride....quality product and something to leave my son.
