Sorry for the delay in posting/podcasting guys. Belated tax season, and work’s been picking up, but I wanted to take a moment to share the last bit of fun I had (Labor Day). For about the second time in 10 years, I actually found myself with a 3-day weekend. All weekend I sat around going “I should go ride the Dragon”.
That Sunday, I met up with a friend for lunch and whined at him about my indecision. His response was simply “you should have gone…”. So…. with implicit permission in hand, I found myself leaving Huntsville at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and riding all the way to Robbinsville, NC to visit the trails up there. Got there at 7:30pm, got the last room at the local Microtel, and rested.
The next day (Monday), got up and rode the “Tail of the Dragon” which, if you have no idea what I’m talking about, is an 11 mile stretch of US 129 which goes between Tennessee and North Carolina. What’s so frickin special about that? Well… hmmm.. in that 11 miles, there are 318 curves. Some of them so tight that you feel as though you could literally kiss your own butt going around them.
In short, motorcyclist paradise.
