60 About 10 miles N of Dahlonega, Georgia
State Highway 60 provides 23 miles of the closest thing to
Deal's Gap, beginning in Suches and winding up at Morgenton. From
Morgenton you can take Spur 60 for about 15 miles to the bottom of US 129, and
go on up to Deal's Gap. This provides one heck of a day on the bike! The great
thing about this route is you have the "TWO" (Two Wheel Only) campground in
Suches and the Deal's Gap campground in North Carolina. Hwy. 60 Hwy 60 and 129 Wolf Pen gap road right in Suches. Hwy. 129 N. of 19 near Dahlonega. Stay with the great folks at Two Wheels Only camp ground (they also have cabins) in Suches, GA. Excellent folks. Even more excellenter roads all though the area - and there'll be someone there to point you to whatever it is you want to ride through. Only about an hour or so S of Deals Gap. 136 From Birmingham, Alabama, ride up to
Canyonland State Park in North Georgia and find some of the best novice riding
ever. It provides great mountain-top scenery with some of the prettiest bottom
land you'll ever see. Take Alabama 75 (one of those "green dot" roads) across
the state line into Georgia and on to Cloudland State Park. The park is
beautiful and has several miles of smooth pavement with plenty of overlooks and
great camping spots. Next, take GA 136 from the park through La Fayette to
Villanow. This is a real nice road with some good mountain top scenery and takes
you down into the valley. From Villanow, it looks like Georgia 201 would go on
south, but it actually ends there. But the "gray" road from there to US 27 has
some of the most breathtaking views of the valley, beautiful pastureland,
terrific sweeping turns and smooth pavement. Route 180 Past Brass Town Bald (tallest peak) to Suches. |
