Just got back from a 3 day loop through the Blue Ridge and some back roads in Tennessee. Took the 82 KZ750 I rebuilt last winter, still running strong at 78k on the clock lol. Route was basically Asheville up 19W to Burnsville, then over the Roan to Erwin, dropped down through the Nolichucky gorge. If you havent ridden the stretch between Erwin and Hot Springs you're missing out, super twisty, almost no traffic, and the pavement is decent. Only sketchy part was a gravel patch around mile 40 on 212 but it was marked. Camped at a spot outside Hot Springs for 15 bucks. Bike ran great, only issue was a loose mirror I had to tighten twice. Anyone else been out that way this season? Thinking about doing the Cherohala next month if anyone wants to meet up.
