Don't try the dragon on the weekend. If you have to do it early in the morning.

We are going to hit the dragon first thing on a tuesday morning so I am hoping the traffic wont be to bad then. Then going to continue and may or may not do the Hell Bender then continue on the cherohola skyway.

Doing the Dragon on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning early sounds like a good plan...

Default Dragon Bound

I'm heading to the Dragon on June 16 from NJ w/at least one other rider. We're taking our time getting down there & will arrive on the 17th. From what I've read, it & the Cherohala Skyway are great, memorable roads where it's best to pay attention to the asphalt & not the scenery. Looking forward to it!

Ride with Fury,
