181 is a lot of fun...low traffic..up in the Mts....pretty much only one cop (and i know where he sits :naughty) ...long beautiful sweepers...it's a two lane road for a good distance in the fun twisty stuff so if there's is traffic you don't have to worry about passing. It's a very fun relitively safe road that not too many people know about (a.k.a no squid scene)Quote:

Found the location...I'm pretty sure I took that road on my way up to the Snake.
How did you get to the Snake? Interstate 81, get off in Bristol TN?Quote:

I was coming up from the South so I went on I-40 from Asheville. I had to beat feet to meet someone in the am. So it was I-40 thru town to 181 to 226 (Blue Ridge Pkwy) to 221 to 421 or something close to that.Quote:

I've ridden there and back on my bike twice and i would do it again if that's how it worked out.
Cliffnotes: :dunno:
I have a truck and enclosed trailer....nice little setup that's perfect for two bikes plus supplies....just a thought.
Yeah ...i won't hold you to it cause i know you still have to work the details out but that would be fine with me. I would share the travling expenses to make it worth your while.Quote:
