I just got back from riding the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Asheville area. Absolutely a fantastic ride!! It has a lot of serious (but not radical) twisties.

In the general area, there are some tremendous rides for those who's skill levels allows them seriously radical rides. Most people in the area aren't impressed with the Dragon's tail at Deal's Gap, saying that there are other rides that are much more scenic, excellent at testing your skills and much longer than the Dragon.

The Dragon is innundated with riders on the weekends and "John Law" is everywhere! One little slip (like crossing the centerline) and they're on you like stink on a skunk.
