Fletcher NC to Chimney Rock & Lake Lure - By L8dyrider

This is a great ride. The shaded mountain back roads definitely make summer rides more enjoyable. I live just off Terry's Gap and love the fall colors. The ride gets a little slow once you make a right on 74. The speed limit drops down to 35 and then 20 in downtown Lake Lure. I prefer taking a left at the end of 64 headed to Gerton. Stay on 74 to Fairview, or take the first right from 74 to highway 9 to and find yourself in Black Mountain.
