Nice job, IAN, with your ON article about the 'twisties!'
I recall last year's snacking at a nice river-side restaurant (on your right) as you enter Tellico Plains along the Cherohala, and the challenge of flawless runs on the 'Dragon' in both directions.
Can't wait!
Why isn't thread a sitcky???
It's mentioned in the MOA. Might be a good idea to link the GPS files to the Rally page.
I know that place! Had a nice breakfast there as the wife and I watched the sun come up before heading home from the ROK rally when it was held near there.
the info was on the site's home page for a few days, fwiw.
Ya, I remember seeing it, then could not find it again. Just thought it would make sense to have it more readily available as it relates directly to the article on the rally and area in general.
Ian - thanks much for sharing the garmin routes for the twisties! I'm still kinda new to this sport but can't wait to do em! Thank you again.................Frank
We eventually came out onto gravel Forest Service roads which took us down the mountan and underneath I-40.
At some point, we lost the route due to sheer ignorance or a wrong turn. I don't recall seeing any type of intersecting roads but the GPS showed us plowing through the middle of the Pisgah National Forest instead of following Harmon Den Road. Mapsource doesn't show the road we followed although I do have the track. We eventually came to a Y in the road and took the right fork downhill. That brought us out to Mount Sterling Road and into the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.
I took a waypoint at the fork (if you're interested), and going to the right (downhill) definitely got us to Mt. Sterling Rd.
Then it got fun. The gravel turned into dirt / rock / mud with ruts and occasional puddles. Sometimes you could ride between the ruts and sometimes you had to go splashing through the puddles. If you take this dual-sport ride into the Smokies, leave your panniers at the campground and make sure you have some off-road riding capability. It wasn't horribly technical but I could easily see a novice dirt rider dumping a bike where the trail was slimy.
But it was some fun stuff if you're so inclined.
Can these be done ( DS route ) 2up.The article and maps are now online.
And remember: ***Always and Adventure*** these roads are fun, a bit challenging and you will have fun (even if you get a little lost at some point.)
Please let me know if you have questions.
Ian
