I've been riding motorcycles for most of my adult life. My first bike was a Suzuki 300 that could barely go 55 mph. Fast forward to today and I'm on my 3rd Goldwing and I've ridden just over 200,000 miles on a bike.
This is a super fun road - more technical (and I think more difficult) than Tail of the Dragon.
The video is shot in 360 - you can use your mouse to change the angle of the video (it’s actually a lot of fun!)
It was 37F when I left Parkersburg WV this morning. I wanted to ride Hwy 50 all the way into DC.
Highway 50 runs the width of the country, starting (or ending) in Washington DC and passes through Aurora WV, a tiny hamlet along the way.
For years I have eaten at a family restaurant there but sadly, it has closed down.
I took 2 days to ride to Asheville, NC last week. It's only 360 miles, but I wanted to take another ride on the "Tail of the Dragon" and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Tail of the Dragon (https://tailofthedragon.com) is US 129 bordered by the Great Smoky Mountains and Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee and North Carolina.
