this is a great ride! the road gets real good when you get on hwy 85 to Grimsley. it's better for a sport rider...and be careful; some of the road conditions are hazardous. you could get in trouble real quick. so pay attention!

Rode this on the way to Little Switzerland, NC on the second day of a 9 day trip. I nice curvy and hilly ride until Crawford, then there are some nice twisty sections. Very nice scenery, as well.

The portion of Hwy 85 is not in good shape. there are patches across the highway that act as speed bumps..concaved. And they are numerous. it is quite brutal when riding aggressively. Too bad as this would be a great ride other wise.
