Deal's Gap / TODT and area - June 2019


Recommended Posts

Just got back from Tail of The Dragon for the first time ever... mind blown! Definitely feeling spoiled and don't want to ride around my town anymore :'(

Ah well, here's some pics! Great trip!

Sounds like such a drag ;)! 

We stayed at an airbnb in Robbinsville..  our street connected directly to the cherohala skyway and 15 mins to the dragon! 

I will definitely be back, but 2 days trailering to get there was a drag. I did a Pennsylvania trip last year (4 hour ride) and those roads are underrated!

Was in the area earlier this week.  Took my first road trip on the GT.  Only issue was with the stock seat.  It was not horrible but on the ride there my backside did get a bit sore.

There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession.

Heading up there in just over a week and then back in September.  Love going up to that area.  We have a rental cabin up there that is just behind Fontana Village.

I love the area so much I tried to convince the wife that we should move there.  Lost that battle, but at least it is not that far away.  The new section of the Foothills Parkway which opened recently is very nice.

Some beautiful spots on the new section.

Which is a very  fun road if taken mostly in the  70-80 mph range.
