The Roan Mountain Run 261 was an a great ride, great views traveling up Roan Mountain. Even stopped and got off the bike to hike a part of the Appalachian trail at the top. The views were stunning and will never forget them. The back side of ride to Bakersville NC had a lot of twists and turns and a great place to stop, eat, and fill-up the gas tank. Cool ride would recommend this one…
Found this ride on the Motorcycle Travel Network which was on a Facebook group I am part of. Its a chill and adventurous ride through the Tennessee and North Carolina mountains and valleys. Just a great ride and relaxing journey overall!
