The Dragon on 9/28 and 9/29

OK, so I finally did it. I met my buddy from the Atlanta area up in Franklin. We rode the Cherohala over to Tellico Plains (GREAT Ride!)
Then came back on 129 through the Dragon and then down 28 to Fontana Village where we spent the night. I must say that it was pretty fun although the first run was too crowded and I didn't really get a feel for it at any speed. I ran it a couple of times the next morning without many others on the road and it was a much more exhilarating. I am still no speed demon like some of you guys...
I agree with many of you (I think that I've heard it said before amongst this group) that there are plenty of other rides closer and less crowded and just as fun, if not more so but it is nice to have the experience so I know what everyone else is talking about.
