Default 2010 Tail of The Dragon Run

2010 Tail of the Dragon Run…318 Curves in 11 Miles!

Three of us from the Raleigh area and our sons plan a run, weather permitting, on Saturday October 23rd.

For those of you who have not participated the past, the runs went something like this:

Participants from the east and south of Asheville met for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant at exit 44 on I-40 just west of Asheville, NC around 8-8:30 AM.

Those who cared to arrive the night before stayed at exit 44 at either the Sleep Inn or Comfort Inn near the Cracker Barrel. FYI, The Sleep Inn is usually about $10 cheaper and a bit newer property. If you arrive early enough Fatz Café nearby is a good option for dinner.

We then departed the Cracker Barrel about 9:15 AM for Fontana Dam with a “bio” & gasoline stop after about an hours ride.

We arrived at Fontana Dam about 11 AM meeting up with more participants coming from other directions and the “meets” they arranged for breakfast etc.

We left Fontana Dam about 11:30 AM and made the northbound run on the Dragon collecting up at the end to swap stories and enjoy the scenery and fellowship.

Later we made the southbound run, collecting up at Deal’s Gap and having lunch at the facility there.

Afterwards some of us made the run again, some made a run on The Cherohala Skyway, and some went to Cherokee to gamble, before heading home or staying overnight in the area.

This is a great adventure for anyone wanting to enjoy their Cobra…whether it’s the first time riding the Dragon or not, it is still a blast…the ride and fellowship are something to remember!

If you have not done so, and want additional info about the Tail of the Dragon, check out their web site.

So with that said…let’s do it!

Funny, all I see is a picture of me with you blocking the shot, Jack.

HERE's a picture of you on the Dragon. I could of course only get a few of them since the shine off your car was blinding me the whole way.



What a great trip - thanks again for heading it up, Bob. I posted some of the limited number of photos I took in the gallery... if anyone wants the higher quality originals just let me know & I'll email them.

Larry
