Deal's Gap (AKA "The Dragon" or "Tail of the Dragon") - By HBreshears

Last rode 8/31/2018 (Friday, mid-morning) West to east. There were already 177 posts before mine, so not a lot more to say. If you come for the ride, this is 11 miles of pleasure. If you come for the view, go over to the Cherohala Skyway instead. Or better, make it a loop! Time of Day: I would rather ride the Dragon with the sun behind me or more overhead, not in my face. But have to take what is available. Traffic: Just lucky this day. Only one slow-mover in front of me, let me around a first opportunity. No knee-draggers running me down from behind. Not a lot of oncoming traffic, and they were all in their lane. None of this matches previous experiences on the Dragon.
