LoneRanger Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 My trip was delayed a couple of weeks. I head out today and it looks like a wet one. I'm anxious to see the area tomorrow and enjoy the Blue Ridge on Friday.Heck with all my gear I almost fit on the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 You're going to run into a pretty big sportbike rally down there, enjoy the crowd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneRanger Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'm back. What a trip! I did the Dragon several times, Hellbender once and the Cherahola once. I also ran the Blueridge Parkway from Boone, NC to Lexington, VA. To everyone going in August. The Dragon is simply amazing. A word or two of caution. I saw one rider down on Wednesday night when I ran it and another rider was killed on Hellbender on Thursday not 5 minutes after I went down it. These are serious roads that demand full attention.All in all a trip well worth doing. I plan on returning next year for more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevelleFan Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm heading down to that area in just over a week (leaving aug 5 or 6). Dragon, Blue Ridge, Cherohala, are all on my to-ride list. What's Hellbender? Any other suggested road or sites worth seeing?-Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneRanger Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Dave - Hellbender is also known as the River Road. It is Rt 28. From the Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort you can take Rt 129 to Robbinsville or if you look to the left you will see RT 28. It is well worth the time. It will take you around 40 minutes or so to get back to the Resort if you run it.Check out www.tailofthedragon.com for area maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
