Run for the Dragon

Reviving this post.

I hope to get my back repaired and be able to do this run next late April..


Who's in??  Would be a 8 day venture, run out in no more than 2 days maybe 1.  Spend a few days there wondering around rides the area has to offer.  Then back, again no more than 2 days back.

My neighbor just got back from doing it.  He said the speed limit is 30 and when he did the run there where police after two or three curves.  I believe it is something like 30 miles but I don't remember the length of the run. He said he had a blast. 

[roboto65]

It is 300 something curves in 11 miles and the cops are the least of your worrys the Truckers are there too and they take the whole turn  so we will for sure watch out for them !!!

I had the 3 right just the zeros where wrong. LOL
300 curves not 30 miles.

Yep
Last year I was riding the Pig Trail in Arkansas with my brother and a friend.
I was leading in single file thru some tight twistys
We hit a  10   mph curve
I rounded the bend
and saw the WIDE EYES of the Trucker going too fast
as I rounded the cab
my brother scooted round the tractors rear wheels
as the left leading edge of the box swept round the curve
all the way to the gravel berm on our side
where Walt rode the hairy edge
between the box and the 30 foot drop into the trees
(no guard rail)
He cleared it ....just
coulda been real bad.......
Thank God it was alright....

Thinking about doing this after MOOTMag.  My daughter is moving to Kentucky and will be living about 4 hours away from the dragon.  Going to go visit her then hed down the dragon and back home.
