Shiner's Run

31 McR Points

Motorcycle Type : Cruiser

The many times that i have ridden this run they was hardly any traffic. One ride we started out early and about midway to Hot Springs it started to rain and the trees started losing their leaves. The road became so slick but with care and lots of caution we made it to Hot Springs. We had a good lunch and headed back south to Waynesville for a spectacular evening ride. That year we were staying at Moose Crossing Log Cabins.

Rode this again on Sept. 25th, 2020 and it was super fun. Always knew it as The Rattler however like the idea of Shiner's Run. You can find those stickers, patches, etc. at the Trust General Store.

The road gets better the closer you get to Hot Springs. To that end I do recommend starting off in Hot Springs. Start there gives you uphill twisties, which are usually a bit better than downhill ones, less brakes, one less thing to concern yourself with. However, I've only ever done it south to north. Even doing it that way this is a good, proper twisty road the further north you go, and worth it even coming off of US 40. It may not see so at the time while rolling off of 40 onto a fairly straight road, but it gets meaner the further north you go, especially past the convenience store that has the large "The Rattler" sign out front. Keep an eye out for gravel in the low land, light twisty area. It's always there, and can be seen easily, but worth noting.
