Hoblick Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 of the many times I've been down, I've either had no time and went highway, or did a back road i didn't know that ended up not being that great of road. so I'm looking for a route from marysville to deals gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) There just isn't much between us and Knoxville that goes north south. Below is the way I do it when I am not in express mode. 62/68 is a nice ride. Get to see tons of awesome horse farms. 116 North of Knoxville is a must do road. https://goo.gl/maps/cfqU1 Edited May 10, 2015 by Tonik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Ride as fast as you can out of Ohio, towards Rt.47 in WV, right outside of Parkersburg. Take Rt.47 to Rt. 33, and follow that all the way to Harrisonburg VA. Spend the night in Harrisonburg. Next morning, take Rt.33 further East until you hit the Blue Ridge Parkway. BRP south until Ashville NC. From Ashville, it's just a short little jaunt to Deals Gap. Here's the tricky part...instead of taking that short jaunt to Deals Gap, ride some local roads around Asheville for two days. Just NE of Ashville, right off the BRP, find 226 and 226A. Go to Mapquest and look. Drool! I could make Asheville my base camp, and ride roads around there for a week. Fuck Deals Gap in the ass with a fork. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 No recommendations on the ride there, but I did find an awesome route last week that appears to be unfounded so far. No traffic at all. Rt 32, just outside of Cosby, off 321 coming from Gatlinburg"I miss America" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hoblick: Here's a link to the 2-day route we took on the LocalRiders fall trip last year. Runs from Cinti to Abingdon, VA and them on to Waynesville, NC. You'd obviously need to modify it some if you're planning on ending near Deal's Gap. The roads are all rural, low-traffic volume with tons of twisties and great scenery. Hard to go wrong anywhere down there. Have fun! http://www.localriders.com/forums/showpost.php?p=164437&postcount=88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm doing 3 days, 1 day down, one day there, and one day back. Sounds like you are gonna be on the slab buddy.......you would need more time to ride the really fun routes down there and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostViking Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I took i71 south to 75 south, cammped in cumberland falls park and then came into deals gap from maryville, Tn the next day. Then came up through the virgnia way back into akron two days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
