Suches side of the map
This unpaved motorcycle road map of north Georgia has taken much longer than expected. It's been a wet winter and a wet spring, lately to the extreme. Sitting on a back burner but not ignored, I've constantly searched my sources for info and added it to the map, but it's long overdue time to ride the routes.
The only way to know if my maps are accurate is to ride the routes. Some roads are crap and shouldn't be included. With the unpaved stuff you too often run into private land, gates, or closed roads and dead end runs to trail heads. Sometimes the track of the road is very different from the source info. I often get surprises when I get home and review the GPS tracks.The plan of attack is to go to Blairsville and spend 3 days riding as much of the maps as possible. Working west to east any unexplored roads will be closer for a follow up visit. I'll stay at the Copperhead Lodge as it's well located and has food and a bar on site. The commute is too long and it would eat up my tires.
If you find yourself in the area and want to ride along for a while you're welcome to join me.
