Nope, no leather chaps needed...it will be plenty warm then...actually humid at the lower elevations.. Almost tropical, expect a passing rain shower in the afternoon. You will love it. I'll be there too early July 4 through the weekend. I'll be the one on a black SG, LOL...

Pick th esmallest roads on the maps that don't look like much...go for it...There is a road that goes from Waynesville i think to Hot springs ithink it 109...really nice then go east on 29 until you can get on 80....croos over I40 and find some more back roads back to Asheville...or go back up 80....221 is nice..blue ridge parkway is nice but traffic sucks and is too slow....I thunk also the road from Waynesville through Cruso (276 maybe) will take you to the top of Pisghah mountain 2 mile ride to Pisgah inn...Food is fabulous....great view....go towards Highlands and Brevard too.....If you go to Waynesville eat at Bogarts....Steak and Fish is good....Backroads rowards Boone are very nice too....321, 421 towards Shady Valley Tn ..the rattler i think they call it...I've been on all these roads and they are all great....You think 4 days will be enough but you will want more.....Oh! there is a Road that goes from Robbinsville to Franklin NC... it goes through Kyle and Aquone....twisties galore.... I use to ride these roads in a car while visiting customers up there....Alway wanted to go on the Bike.....Freakin Awesome roads.....I could keep on an don and on if i picked up the Atlas.... i am sure you will get plenty of other ideas from members....I went up with the wife in October ...for 3 days...On the 3 rd day the wife says...."do we have to go home tomorrow" i said no and called Hampton Inn and extended......I never pass up an opportunity to go to the hills....Can't peel the smile off my face...

We stayed at the Ironhorse last spring, This is a good place, they cater to bikers. And there in the heart of good riding. Check'em out.

Timberland says, "The Dragon is blah...Yea go do it once or twice then ride the Cherohala, then visit Cosby, Dandridge, the Blue ridge Pkwy, 441 to Cherokee, I40 from Sevierville TN to Ashville NC, the Biltmore House in Ashville is a place to see, it's a little larger than our cabin. Roaring Fork Motor trail out of Gatlinburg, Hot Springs, Car shows, Bluegrass concerts, Floyde Garrets muscle car Museum, Need I go on ???? You'll hate the place, LOL."
