The bad press link looks like a fun ride. Anyone want to do it in Dec?link
If I understood it correctly its Hwys 60/180/19 and they threw in 129 Blood Mtn in the report.
Anyone know the area?
I live in Dahlonega and am quite familiar with the area. The "loop" is a great ride, but there are several other roads just as good. For example, 60 from Dahlonega through Suches to Morganton is great. One thing to keep in mind, this time of year through February and March, the roads tend to freeze overnight up here and GDOT is quite generous with the sand and gravel, especially on 180. 129 from Turners Corner up Blood Mountain is probably the "cleanest" of the 3, but it is also the most heavily patrolled. I'd definitely recommend a leisurely recon before any serious carving action.The bad press link looks like a fun ride. Anyone want to do it in Dec?link

Thanks! Not really new, just not very active on the board. Had an 05 since 08/04. Not sure what's happening in my world (wife and kids) that weekend, but maybe I can sneak away. Is there a definite plan setup for time and place?Welcome to the forum reread! Are you new to the FJR or just the forum?
Will you be able to join us on the 2nd?

Having ridden those roads more times than I can remember over the last 18 years, I can vouch that not only is "the loop" nice, but so too the routes also mentioned. I would also throw out that the Richard Russell Parkway can be a lot of fun too (unless you get behind a sloooooow and scared sight-seerer).I live in Dahlonega and am quite familiar with the area.
