I had the pleasure of riding through the mountains of Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia last week and was in total heaven for the whole time. We stayed in the little town of Murphy N.C. and got to ride through Deals Gap and the Cherehola (sp) Skyway and a lot of backroads in the area. The scenery and roads are all first class with little traffic to get in the way of your ride. Deals gap is totally amazing with a total of 318 turns in 11 miles! Not for the faint of heart at all but completely exhillerating! I saw pics of wings dragging their pegs and engine guards in the turns! The Skyway is another awesome but somewhat less demanding ride through the mountains with lots of scenic overlooks and great sweeping turns through the forest with lots of elevation changes. There are even some waterfalls on the backroads that are worth the effort to find. I know there are probably some better roads around the country but this is the closest thing to total nirvanathat I have ever experienced. I didn't want to come home ever!! We logged over 700 miles (all 2 up) in 6 days of riding with one of them curtailed by rains. I would definitely recommend this area for anybody looking for an awesome area to just do some touring and sightseeing. Where have you ridden that you would recommend to others?
