    The Dragon is nice, but there are so many other roads in the NC mountains that are, in my opinion, better. There is a road from Bat Cave to Ashville that is simply awe-inspiring. Nothing but switchbacks up and down mountain sides. Virtually no traffic and unbelievable scenery. The NC mountains are some of the best riding in the country. If I could only talk my wife into moving there.
    I used to live in N. Wilkesboro and still love the area.

    That would be cool for sure. Until I can get my Seca running, though, I will have to pass. Gotta check a whole bunch of electrical connectors, coils, etc. before I think about a trip like that.

    I just moved to this area last year and have done a lot of exploring in the TN Smokies just because they're closest. What is this route from Batcave to Ashville? I run a route for work through there (in a van, unfortunately) but I have to take I-26 over to hwy 25 and go into Asheville that way. I like this job because I can familiarize myself with these areas and then go out on my free time on the bike and ride the fun roads. I was planning on hitting the the Dragon sometime this summer. The first or second weekend in May should be good for me if it's good for everybody else.

    some fantastic rides in that area. One thing I discovered though is at some times on humid days, you can learn the true meaning of Fog!
