What a beautiful day, sun, and some incredible roads. Left Deals Gap Resort at 9am after a nice breakfast. Rode the Dragons Tail north one last time (makes 3 north and 3 south total). Up to hwy 411, then over to TN 360, down to the Cherohala Skyway. The Skyway is a fantastic road, curves, hills to 5800 feet (if memory serves me right), with a speed limit of 55 mph. That puts you in Robbinsville, NC (about 18 miles south of the Gap), and roughly 100 miles traveled. From there I retraced my route to Augusta, Ga. Long days travel, but 2 thirds of it was in the mountains, absolute spectacular riding.

Hope those came out alright, service here is terrible, even in the morning.
The morning portion of this ride was cold cold - could have used my long johns if I still got them. I had my winter gloves on , my hoodie (without the hood), scarf, and it was cold enough to have to put my face shield down.
Not real sure where I'm going now - only heading back, more on that later.
