Suches trail today.

[BrueThru]

I had a wonderful day today.

It had been a few years since I did Suches (Georgia's version of The Tail) so when I woke up I decided to do it.

From Dahlonega to Blue Ridge, nothing like 45 miles of road that dosen't have any straights or stop signs (well, maybe 2).

Then I went for the extra 26 miles of the same between Ellijay and Chatsworth.

307 miles and about 7 hours counting stops for gas, lunch and general sight seeing.

Had to stop off on Clairmont Rd to get a Bolichi sandwich from the Havana sandwich shop to begin the day. Yummm.

Heres a map (its a bit jacked up for some reason) and some photos.

And I had to stop to get a picture of the power plant outside of Cartersville.

Crappy iPhone camera.

You guys have such beautiful scenery up there. I'm truly jealous.

I'm still amazed sometimes.

Just out riding and see something I've passed a hundred times and not noticed.

I grew up in Virginia and had a lot of MC adventures up there and there so many wonderous places.

Between the coast and the mountains its all relatively boreing. Get to one or the other and theres alot to appreciate.

My dad tells me northern Cali and the northern west coast are quite impressive as well. I've never been but will eventually.

Other than the mountains, I've just got dirt and cactus.

Thats some boreing ass shit there my friend. :disapprove:

Hope you get up to the mountains enough to satisfy your need for "interesting".

Looks like an absolutely awesome ride! As I was hitting the twisties in NC several days ago, I kept thinking to myself "That's an awesome spot for a pic!" Then I was gone. Too busy worrying about proper form, and the next turn, and so on.

I've spent many years just riding and appreciating the scenery (Well sort of, I tended to drag pegs.) Lately I've discovered sport riding and now I'm focused on everything except the scenery. Thank you for reminding me that we can do both.

First chance I get, I'm taking the trip up to Rockingham, NC and running the twisties again. Maybe I'll remember to appreciate the scenery on the way there, this time.

Personally... I love the desert!! Love the heat!! And really like the 355 days (average) of sunshine per year.

I wouldn't trade it for anything or any place in the world!!

Yeh, there were several more spots that were photo worthy but I was to busy looking ahead, thinking when to brake, how much, when to let off and roll on the juice....

I had to turn back around to get a couple of these.
