Day 4…..Amazing!!!

An amazing ride today as we finally rode the Dragon’s Tail. It was a lot of fun and well worth it. Lots more pictures today and a couple money shots.

Outside the motel getting pumped up for the big ride. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Can’t wait……three hard days of riding for today. 😬😁😬

Before heading out we stopped for a 5 Star breakfast at the local Shoney’s. It’s not actually the place I remember as a kid. Oh well for a last meal it works. I joke….we will be fine on today’s ride.

Dad a little surprised at how much a Shoneys breakfast cost. Lol…it is a bit ridiculous. Nothing like crazy inflation, but that discussion is for a different day.

Well here we are…the starting point for the Dragon’s Tail…..318 curves in 11 miles down the side of a mountain. What could go wrong 🫣🤔🫣……oh and a bunch of crazy people on mini bikes going a bazillion miles and hour down it. This will be interesting. It’s 75 degrees and perfect weather.

A couple of quick pictures at the Harley shop across the street. We had to get some t-shirts and pay our respects to the dragon…..I kiddd 😁😁😁

About a quarter of the way down we stumbled upon this. Dad decided to stop so we could relax a little bit. It was very tempting to jump in. The water is super clear but I’m sure cold. 🥶

Wow some great stops along the ride down. Here are a couple money shot pictures. Obviously I’m not a photographer, but these are pretty amazing. It’s very surreal.

Well we made it safe and sound. It was awesome. The dead man’s turns were challenging. Nothing we couldn’t handle though. Definitely a lot of downshifting and maneuvering of the bike. We got lucky no crazy people behind us. Here is a picture of the “Tree of Shame”. We did not have anything to hang here. Thank goodness. 😬😁😁

Now time for lunch and beers to celebrate. We found this place. Wow what a cool place. The river in the background was beautiful. What a super cool lunch. Really a lot of fun and very relaxing. They even have there own craft beer. It’s really good.

Salute 🍻…..to a great ride and relaxing lunch!!!

Dad chowing down his burger and relaxing. Enjoying the River.

Well time to head out. The clouds are coming in and expecting rain. No fun but sometimes part of the ride. Here we go down the rest of the mountain. 30 miles of twisties…..should be a blast.

Well we made it down exhausted and ready to crash. We decided to stay at the Embassy Suites to enjoy happy hour and get some much needed rest.

Good night 😴💤
