Well, Tappahannock is in the Tidewater, adjacent to the Rappahannock River. Pretty country, but very flat. Although I'm sure there are some pleasant country roads in the area, I'd be very, very surprised to hear that there's a truly curvy road anywhere near there which would warrant a "Dragon" tag.
Nothing would please me more than to be proved wrong, though. I ride down on the Northern Neck not too far from there and would love to hear of a terrific road down there.
Let us know the details once you talk to your riding buddies...

Quote from Northern Neck Audubon Society:
The Dragon Run, one of the most pristine rivers on the east coast. The Dragon, on the Middle Peninsula, runs 35 miles from its source to the Piankatank River and is bordered by Essex, King & Queen, Middlesex and Gloucester Counties. It is one of the northern-most cypress / tupelo swamps and has been described as a time capsule of a Chesapeake Bay tributary river from 100 years ago and a river similar to one Captain John Smith would have seen 400 years ago. The remoteness of this million year old swamp contributes to its abundant wildlife and unique plant species.
Perhaps your HOG chapter will be doing some bird watching on the river?
Better bring your binocullars.
