Those of you that ride the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville might have noticed the Pisgah Inn and Market. Well down the road is highway 151, which is a locally well known road to ride. We usually take this road to parkway.

Yesterday, the wife decided to count the curves and counted 81 in less than 4 miles.

The road is North of the Pisgah Inn about 3 miles. You can continue on 151 and find food and gas as well as good access back to I-40 or 19/23 if you want.

Just tossing this out incase someone is riding the parkway and looking for a scary, narrow, curvy, backroad to burn up.

We have several members that live really close to there.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I am up that way often, but usually down toward Highlands.

All kinds of good roads to ride, just ask a local. I have a good friend and riding buddy who knows all the best roads in the mountains. He leads all day rides and we never have seen a cop in the three years I've rode with him. The best roads are the ones nobody knows about:thumbsup: 215 is not too far from there, it was paved last year.

I got it in my head now. Thats the turn off north of where the gas station was. I think i found that one in desparate need of gasoline many years ago after the old gas pumps where closed. The blueridge tends to blend together sometimes
