3.504 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Bridal Vail Falls. You should take 28 all the way to SC/GA' date=' too. You missed the good parts. [/quote']I know those parts, if I was on my computer I could post a pick of.the "welcome to SC" sign thats on 28.my favorite roads down that way are out near helen, GA. theres a road called 60, and one called 180. theres also the lower section of 129. over in clayton ga, closer to nc/ga boarder in the tristate area is war woman. whenever I plan to hit the smokies, I plan on spending my time in GA. get away from the tourists and ride the better roads.- Aaron Coomer for president 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year for the trip, we got in a solid 3 days of riding and I didn't even hit the Dragon once. I'd much rather hit all that fun stuff and the Cherehola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) I love crab bisque! It's low-cal and not very fattening either!You have to go to this place when you are down there. I found it the first time I went down that way...was with another dude and we pulled in for gas in Franklin. That giant gas station on the north end of town on 28. It was hot as hell, we were starving he looks at me and says where we gonna eat. Attached to the gas station is Caffe Rel. I notice and say there!! Had no idea wtf it was.Go in and it turns out it is a five star french restaurant attached to the gas station in the middle of NC. Lunch prices are very reasonable and they are famous for their blue crab bisque. Some of the best food I have ever had. Bowl of soup and a Cuban Press sandwich.The owner is a character. His big thing is don't sit down until all your friends have arrived...no sitting around waiting for them. He is like the soup nazi if you do that, he throws you right out. But a great guy, rich as hell...he is always driving a Lambo or something along those lines.http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/230/1102252/restaurant/North-Carolina/Caffe-Rel-Franklin Edited December 12, 2012 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Anyone want to do some fishing while were there this year? I'm not sure where a good spot is. I saw no fish, not even minnows, in the big pond with a dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Dawmn I'm ready for spring to come... I want to do the same route we did for the Dream Ride this fall... I need to work on my riding before I hit the dragon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to work on my riding before I hit the dragon...It is perfectly acceptable to go to that area without riding the Dragon. Though if its your first time it's kind of something you have to do. My first time through I was nervous as all hell but pretty much went the speed limit the whole way and was fine. I had very little skill that first trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst2fst Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Oldschool and I rode 28 all the way to N.C. It was a really good ride. I think they call it Moonshiners run or something. I dunno. There was a really cool waterfall as well that you could park the bike behind/under and get some nice pics. Next time I'm going to actually grab my camera not just my iPhone.Sounds good, If you guys wanna head that way for a bit I'd be down for that.Anyone want to do some fishing while were there this year?

I had very little skill that first tripI was the same way, but after riding this trip I felt like my skill level was 10 times what it was going in and I wasnt hauling ass either.

MidgetTodd Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 That's the right attitude. We're not there to see who's the fastest and someone will always wait at the turn offs.Bullshit, that's the only reason 4 of us go is to outrun the other 3 and rub it in the rest of the year. Turnone may have bragging rights from last year but I'm gonna sabotage him this year and smoke him.
