I live on the southern tip of this route. I have just gotten a bike after a 20 year absence since riding a 450 Nighthawk in college. I had been wandering around the country roads in the same area for a few weeks but had not yet found this specific route. It is beautiful, fun, open, and well paved. I was riding at dusk with a full moon in the sky and a cool breeze enhancing the experience. At one point a young boy came running down his driveway with is hand in the air signalling for me to gun the engine - and I couldn't resist! I cant wait to get up to the more intense routes in the mountains but this is a great route to get my feel and groove back.

PS: Virgil Road is mentioned in the description but not part of the highlighted route, although it is within the highlighted loop. I have no idea how to correct this.

This route is great for a quick afternoon ride. It's about 30 minutes from our house so even getting up to the route is nice. The early roads right outside of Wal-Mart at the beginning are rough but it levels out and is great after that.

Beaver Dam Rd off Old Weaver at North end of Falls is a good road as well. Lots of twisties (surprising for the Piedmont). Pay attention to the road as the asphalt has settled and undulations can surprise a bit. After to Pass 50 on Old Weaver and over Falls, it is the next left. 2 gear on my bike was plenty to get through it all. 5-8 S-turns followed by a long sweep before you dive into another set.

Very nice day trip. Starts off a little traffic busy but get better and better as you get into it.
