I just got back from riding The Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and the surrounding areas of Tennessee and North Carolina. Easily the best ride I've experienced. Unfortunately one of our group wrote off his bike on Cherohala and sustained fairly serious injuries. A wood gauardrail saved him from a 5100 foot freefall but left him with broken ribs, shoulder, collarbone, concussion, etc. Even with that clous looming over us it was the best ride of my life and should not be missed.

Pretty much any road that is not in Kansas...

Not in Ride Reports, let's try it in the riding forum.

I can say for sure, the Alaska Highway is not a ten best road. It is very straight and boring.

Those all sound good. No need for anyone to come to Arkansas to do any riding. Nope, no reason at all. Nuthin here but gravel and inbreds. Ya'll stay there.

Along with the crazy gun-toten inbreds there is hail, lighting and tornado's. And for you campers, mosquitoes, ticks and chiggers. Oh and snakes, ya know, many stores actually sell snake proof boots. All those other roads are way better.

Anything Rt 28 in NC

Taking a guard rail on the Skyway would have to hurt at those speeds..Hope he heals up soon..

Did not mean to exclude you neighbors in Arkansas. Just rode 21,23,215, & 7 and they are all great roads, was hard to limit it to 10 rides. Besides if I keep this secret quiet it will be better for you-less traffic for you to contend with. As far as listing Alaska Highway-for pure adventure riding it is hard to beat. Where else can you share the road with a Griz?

bemiiten · 11-12-2008, 05:29 PM

California 108 Ebbets Pass

California 4 Sonora Pass

California 120 Tioga Pass

California 198 Generals Hwy.

Ping me next time you're up this way. Have you ridden Push Mtn yet? Or up into southern MO?
Push Mtn is AR 341, also known as the AR-Gap. US 160 between Theodosia, MO and Forsyth, MO is awesome. MO 125 from Reuters, MO to Sparta, MO. US 160 east from Alton, MO to wherever you wanna stop.

AR 9 between Allison, AR and Melbourne, AR. AR 58 from the intersection of AR 69 through Guion to AR 14.
There's so many. And a lot of great gravel roads in between 'em all.
I'll be back later, gotta make out a route for this weekend.

Thank God for the Dragon.
It keeps the tourists and amatuers from clogging up the good roads.
