Dittoblueknightga6 said:I like US 129 (Blood Mountain) in Georgia from Cleveland (Turner's Corner) to Blairsville going either direction. It's a well maintained road that climbs and descends. It has good visibility in curves with big sweeping curves that you can really lean into.
I like the Blue Ridge Parkway for obvious reasons, it's a road meant to enjoy and take your time on.
I like A1A from south of St. Augustine to Ormond Beach where you're riding right along the beach.
I like the Cherohala Skyway for the curves and views.
Wolf Pen Gap RD (GA HWY 180) between US 129 and Georgia HWY 60 but it's been getting dangerous the past few years with bikes passing in curves and REALLY pushing the limits of safety and saneness.
Georgia HWY 2 & 52 across Fort Mountain between Ellijay and Chatworth. The road climbs and descends with nice curves and switchbacks.

Do you mean like this on Blood Mountain?dthogey said:I stayed in Blairsville GA last fall and couldn't get enough of the Blood mountain run on 129!! I rode it several times. It really was fun. My favorite road so far. There wasn't too much traffic, the road is in good shape, and the corners are awesome!!
I really enjoyed the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Cherahola skyway, these roads are in good shape, lots of curves and beautiful views!!

So when do you ride pretty close to the 4th of July. Snow on the ground in June amazing. And I thought Chicago was cold. I checked out that link and it really spells it out. Looks good. Great country for a bear though. How long is the pass usually open and best time for the 70-80 degree crowd.
