Very nice write up! I have done tht ride about half a dozen times, with the most recent being this memorial day weekend. I highly recommend it.

PJ, thanks for the pics and write-up--will be making a daytrip up there in a couple of weeks with some friends.

Ron, hope you and your wife have a great trip. Cherohala Skyway has about 2K' of elevation change along the way and it is noticeable--adds to the adventure since we don't see that kind of change much in the SE. Be sure to start the Skyway with plenty of gas 'cause there aren't any gas stations on it.

Fontana Dam is a worthwhile part of riding near Deals Gap.

Thanks for the photos and write-up John. I made that ride the past two years, but it doesn't look like I will be able to this year. Your photos will help me keep my memories vivid til next time.

Nice write up and pics Pastor. Me and the wife will be down there in a couple of weeks. We'll be staying in Robbinsville NC. Plan on doing the Dragon, Cherahola, Foothills, GSM National Park, and the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley before we head back north via the BRP. I'd rather ride my bike than take a Carnival Cruise anyday.

PJ - thanks for the pics.
Wifey and I are lookin to take a ride down the BRP to there from LI this summer sometime, when we can get grandma to watch the kids for a few days.

Sounds like you had a blast with some sweet views.
