However you define “sport touring”, it involves a crisp ride over twisty pavement. There’ll be plenty of that on this route! Solo or two-up, this is the kind of day-ride you’d plan yourself if you were intimately familiar with North Georgia’s and North Carolina’s best mountain roads and you had the finest logistics available at your disposal. We’ve saved you all that trouble with our meticulous planning, so all you have to do is register, show up, and ride.
After check-in paperwork, prizes will be awarded and we will learn about the amazing work of FOCUS. Then, riders will depart with precise directions for the route in hand. A tank bag map holder will come in handy to hold the 5.5” x 8.5” route instruction sheet.
The sport touring event will provide a choice of two routes.
The condensed route is approximately 200 miles, stays in north Georgia, traverses some roads that you may not have ridden before, and has its lunch stop at Two Wheels of Suches.
The full route is approximately 250 miles, traverses up into North Carolina and has its lunch stop at the Motor Company Grill in Franklin, NC. The full route has an optional shortcut to shorten the route to approximately 220 miles. These routes are some of the Southern Appalachian’s best twisty motorcycle roads.
The riding will be spectacular, the camaraderie of other motorcyclists will add to the enjoyment, and the feeling that you’ve done something important in the lives of the children we serve will be tremendous. Chances are good that you won’t be able to remember a more enjoyable sport touring ride.
