A name or route would be a big help...i can think of a several roads that might fit the name but none have that name.

 

All I was told was that it is near Tappahannock.

 

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...

 

maybe you could shoot us a link to your HOG chapter web site, and we could read some more..... gotta admit, I'm intrigued

always looking for a curvy road....

 

It might be RT. 14 from Shackfords to 360. I rode it and it has some great curves.

 

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.

 

Rt 311 from Salem to Crows has been called by some as the "Little Dragon" Lots of twistys across two mountains. Really pretty ride.

 

I've ridden it dozens of times. It is a really nice climb.

 

I'm trying to get more info as it is not listed on the website yet.

 

To the top - Need to know the area a little more since I'd like to try the road out someday. Once someone provides information here as I'll be sure to jot 'em down in my trip book.

Thanks,

Thorey
