Title: A Mountain Road.
Post by: the_Journeyman on July 17, 2010, 03:28:50 PM
Great local road  [evil]

I refer to this local road as "Mini" Deals Gap

Pics *should* be in bottom to top order.

Yep,

Looks like home to me.  Garden of Eden with a race track running through it.

I like the road ....but don't think I could do 60-70 mph on it and if I can't go at least 60 mph or faster I get board.

Maybe I'm just not a good enough rider to do 60 mph all the way on that road.

You'd be surprised, but there are some curves that you'll be below that because they're so tight.  Overall, it's one of my favorites, because it's usually nice and clean surface wise, and the traffic is usually light to non-existant ~

There are so many great roads in the_Journeyman's par of the country. We rode a few on our recent trip from NY to Georgia. The photos are great- took me right back there.

I don't know what road that is but I would recommend US 19 between Dahlonega and Blairsville, Georgia.

Wow - that looks really nice.  It's funny to me to see such green lush roads...all my motorcycle riding years have been in southern Cali and the majority of the roads are either barren hills or have that dry desert look to them.

None the less -it's my little slice of heaven!
