Day 17 - Sun 25th Sept - Franklin to Bryson City
Moonshiner 28 and Tail Of The Dragon
This is one of the biking days you just dream about 200 miles in the Smoky Mountains, so across Franklin to get some breakfast and it is back onto Moonshiner 28. Before you know it we have arrived in Deals Gap the beginning of…The Dragon. I am sure there are very few roads as famous as the Tail of The Dragon, 318 curves in 11 miles, yes it is a 30 mph road, but don’t let it fool you. Also keep an eye out for the photographers on the side of the road. Strike a pose!!! So we can stop at the resort to pick up our souvenirs and then it is onto the curves!Hotel and Weather

Cherohala Skyway
The Cherohala Skyway, this road is 43 miles of long sweeping corners and stunning views. It might have cost $100,000,000 but it was money well spent. An hour of curves and scenic view after scenic view until we arrive on the outskirts of Robbinsville. From Robbinsville we then head out towards Bryson City for the night. One hell of a day’s riding.
