2017 Rally - Ideas for Rides & Things to Do

[53driver]

For those who like to go exploring some of the best roads in the country for motorcycling, I've found this map to be indispensable:

Butler Southern Applachia G1

It's not all about twisties and technical riding, but they're on there too...
Just lots of great roads for scenery, overlooks, picnic, small hikes to see more sights, etc.

Cheers,
Steve

A great site for motorcycle roads is.

We have ridden out of Pigeon Forge quite a few times and followed locals through side roads many times.
We plan on doing several rides. One being Route 25 to Route 209 (the Rattler). Great ride, curves on 209 are not marked that great for speed, but a lot of fun.
We also plan on 321 and a few other roads to I-40 then south to Asheville. We get off and take route 151 (incredible road) up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Parkway back to Cherokee.
We also plan on one of our favorites, Townsend, to Foothills Parkway, to Deals Gap, Cherahola Skyway and loop back around to Townsend and back to Pigeon Forge.

Not all these roads or distances are suited for everyone, but a person can tailor your own ride to suit your own skills and how far you want to go in a day.
