NC Mountain Roads Ride
Saturday, October 26 & Sunday, October 27
We're headed back to ride in the NC Mountains with the Waggy... who's coming with us?
This ride is for anyone who wants to go Full Size cruising on the curvy mountain roads.
We plan to drive about 65 miles on a combination of gravel forest roads and paved 2-lane roads each day. We plan to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery several times a day, and have a picnic lunch along the way. Hopefully there will be some fall leaves to look at... don't know if they'll be on the trees or on the ground this year.
Road Trip Plan
Saturday 9am: Meet at the Paddy's Creek Area of Lake James State Park
Drive on gravel to Linville Falls, a little bit of pavement, then a bunch more gravel to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then to camp at Price Park Campground (for those of you who don't camp, there are hotels in Blowing Rock) You are responsible for your camp/hotel reservation; see map for suggestions.
Sunday 9am: Meet at camp
Drive on pavement through Blowing Rock, then a bunch of gravel with some paved patches, then check out the Wilsons Creek Gorge, maybe have time to run the one trail at the Brown Mountain OHV park, then more gravel, pavement, gravel, pavement back to Lake James.
