Has anyone rode the "The Dragons Tail" US 129 Deal's Gap Tennessee ?
I am hoping to plan a ride out there this July.
I have read that it is 11 miles with 318 curves with tight turns & blind spots, also one of the best rides ever.
I figured since I am here with fellow riders, was thinking a rode trip in July from Pittsburgh to Great Smokey Mountains. (the Dragons Tail is rite there)
I have always done pretty much just local riding, I really want to do a rode trip. (just like wild hogs) LOL...
Plenty of guys have done it. It is on my bucket list, but not for a couple of years. And I live in St Louis...
Put it up for a get together trip and I'm sure you can get a few guys to jump in there with you, or at the very least meet up with you somewhere near Deals Gap and ride with you...
I am planning that trip this spring as well. I live in VA and it is eight hours for me to get there. I planned on taking the parkway and going down and riding the dragon to the other end and coming back up on the other side of the mountains. Will be a few days worth of riding but I have ridden many of the mountain roads in VA and yes, they will bite you if not careful. Some of the corners are much sharper than they look.
318 curves in 11 miles! So when you finish and get off the bike, do you walk in s curves towards the mens room?
