NC Hwy 261- Roan Mountain Road - By Akumu

Only managed to catch this road in the wet, but even with reduced speed (in my hot hatchback) it was plain to see that this was a great road, especially leaving TN and entering NC. It got a little more interesting before Bakersville, NC, too. All in all a solid ride, and I dare say one worth trekking to. Do yourself a favor and take 80 south off of 226A right next door. It's properly silly and you're just a few miles away.
