Might be staying in the Lake Lure NC area- about 25= miles south of Asheville.

Have ridden Deals Gap & etc many times.

.. if you have not already done so .. go hit the Regional Section .. Southeast (Lair of the Dragon) and let them know you're coming to the area .. you'll get some good roads and some invites too I am sure ..

.. I'm not sure how many of them look/follow this area of the board .. great folks over in them mountains ..

Here's a 200 mile loop I enjoyed last October. Had lunch in Hot Springs at Iron Horse Station. Take 251 north of Asheville by the river to Hot Springs. 209 south out of Hot Springs through Trust and Luck. Work your way down to 215 and on down to the Blue Ridge Parkway. North on BRP to 74. You may want to do it in a clockwise loop depending on what time you want to be in Hot Springs.

One of the counties near Asheville is promoting itself as a motorcycle riding destination and has published a guide to scenic rides in the region with turn by turn directions.

Just pick a two lane and roll! Great roads that will lead you to a great time ... Might even find some dirt and gravel while exploring. Oh ya, look at the local ride section there are lots of post giving you ideas for roads.

If you're gonna be there on a Wednesday, run up to the Wedge Brewery, you'll know you're there by all the dual sports and adventure bikes parked out front. I guarantee someone will buy you a beer, prolly a pitcher. Enjoy!

64 is a nice east west road then you can take 28 north has a really section up to 74. You must top for lunch at North Carolina bbq in Cashiers its on 64. Super place for lunch on the deck.
