On the map I'd probably head south on 441(Or towards Pigeon Forge) then take that towards Townsend to Foothills Parkway. When I stayed in Pigeon Forge(Damn I hate that town) it didn't take me long to get to the Gap(Or from it in the rain) which was also a pleasent non-interstate ride.

I got a room for this Saturday(May 10) in Robbinsville, NC today. I think I'm at the San Ram or Ram Jam. Something like that. I think it said Isolated Thunderstorms but Fuck it. I spent 5days riding the gap in the rain I can do it again for 2 days if I have to.

I've never seen the Gap in sunshine. Well actually I did on April 6th but the road was still soaked from the weeks worth of rain. You can actually see a picture of my bike throwing drops of water up from the rear. Then discovered the crack on my sidewall and left before the road dried.

Every other time it was either Dark, Cloudy with rain coming and going.

Same for the Cherohala. Always in the clouds there.

I really wouldn't know what to do if it was sunny and dry.

But I have crap luck like that. I've never been to the drag strip without it eventually raining on us. And I use to go all the freaking time.
