Default Just got back from Deals Gap

Just got back from a week vacation. Visited northern Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Done about 800 - 900 miles of nothing but twisty mountain roads. Deals Gap is a bit overrated in my opinion. Too narrow and tight. Cherahola skyway was my favorite road by far. Overall, had a great week, although a bit tiring. Bike needs a good wash, chain cleaning, a oil change and new tires. All in all well worth it.

The Tree of Shame. Glad I didn't join it.


Side of The Gap


The Cherahola Skyway. 60 miles of sweet curves doing anywhere from 50-90mph.




Nice view.

I went there as a newb and had a blast, but damned if it ain't tiresome as hell. Did you get a souvenir shirt?

congrats on the trip man...the dragons tail rocks, but it is narrow....you just got to ride it a couple times to enjoy it a lot.

oh yeah...good thing about the "tree" man, my boy joined the "water" pass last time we were there and we had to wait two hours for a friend to pick him up....
