Motorcycle
Road Quality: 
|
Mostly
two lane, a few miles of 1 and 1/2 lane. Mostly smooth
roads, but about a mile of rough road on the 1 1/2 lane
wide road. Plenty of curves and hills. You do not need
to be an expert, but you need to be somewhat experienced.
It is a back road ride so expect all types (no gravel).

Roadside Amenities: 
|
Not
many stops along the route, but not a problem. There are
enough gas and break stops along the route, especially
near the beginning and end of the route. Best to always
gas up before leaving.

Bible
Covered Bridge Historic Site. Route 349 is on the other
side of the bridge.
You turn on the new bridge to get to the parking area.
