After the Tail of the Dragon group ride last year, there was talk about doing it again this spring. Unfortunately, it looks like it's going to be a no-go . . . that is, to the Dragon. However, there are plenty of other roads around that area that'll satisfy your twistie cravings.

Tail of the DragonJust received a clarrification for the TNDOT Public Information Officer regarding the September 1 date. The date is an ESTIMATED date. The contract for clearing the slide will be awarded on Monday (3/29), at that time a more accurate opening date will be posted. TNdot DOES SAY it should take several months to clear ...the slide. We will post as soon as we hear updates.

Nikeman and myself have a great ride through twisties into Squirrel Spur Road and down by Lovers leap. Great ride!!!! Let me know if interested and maybe we can do a all day tide and eat.

There are lot's of other places to ride around the area many better than the dragon.

So basically I should wait to go visit my family in Knoxville. Me and the wifey were going to ride the dragon and the cherhola skyway. When do they anticipate it all being cleaned up?

There's no problem with the Cherohala Skyway as I know of, but check for updates here:
