ScubaCinci Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Few pics...found a national park with a tower that overlooks some great scenery. When I came down the other side. It was several miles of gravel, downhill, with Dragon-like switchbacks. Hooray for ABS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you rolled at least some of 276 or 215 on both sides of the BRP. If you're still in Waynesville and heading north on 209 to Hot Springs, take a short detour and check out Crabtree Mtn Rd. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/35.603646,-82.8986568/35.5510218,-82.850798/@35.5768717,-82.8934055,14.19z/am=t/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabtree is very rough but still a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Yeah, Crabtree ain't no racetrack! Manhandling one of those monster rolling sofas up and down those tight switchbacks would be a day's work. Did you run 281/Canada Rd from Tuckaseegee to Lake Toxaway? One of my favorite runs, hands down! Prolly "paved" that road personally with many hundreds of dollars of Michelin/Pirelli rubber. If you get a chance, do "Devil's Drop" NC-151/Pisgah Hwy from the BRP, and then ride back up. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/35.4341508,-82.7303897/35.4628924,-82.736178/@35.443262,-82.7371812,14.5z Edited October 16, 2016 by Bubba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was why we went Nomad instead of sitting in Fontana. People dont seem to get it that there are a boatload of great roads to the east you cant really do in a day from there. We finished with 28 south of Highlands and Warwoman. Spending the night in Clayton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) That's OK...as long as you don't slow down if you see flashy lights in your mirror. You guys heading east from there, doing Richard B Russell Scenic Hwy and Wolfpen Gap Rd? Edited October 16, 2016 by Bubba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
