The meeting spot.Jump directly off I-40 on to 23 south to Waynesville, then 276 south to Cruso. Can't get no easier .....
OK, looks very very good on the meeting place -- I actually know this one as it is just down the street from the Cruso general store where I bought my little tube of Neosporin about 4 years ago. We took the year before lasts Dragon group down that same curvy little piece of ex-logging road as warm up for the Dragon and yep, it is a right fun little piece of pavement to be sure.
I certified it forever as "a noticeably
good rural riding road" with about six square inches of my skin as a matter of fact .....
It's that good -- the Flying Purple People Eater is all a quiverin' fer a rematch, she's been a wait'n fer it
for 4 years now ever since she got her nickname fer flying a wee bit all sideways down the outside gravel shoulder (no guard rail) at the very teetery edge of the mountain drop off on that particular piece of road. It wuz a long long way down, lemme tell ya ....
Both she and I both carry little visible reminders of her last visit to Highway 276 ....
<shudder>
Meeting place has a ramp spot to empty the two bikes off the back of a truck, which is what we needed most for a getting off spot. Since it is just me and Lancer, we can leave a bit earlier in the morning and get there cleanly a bit before noon.
