Deals Gap-April 28-May 2
Hey everyone,
Just a heads up, My stepfather belongs to a group of BMW riders who are getting a lodge for the weekend of April 28th-May2nd in NC planning on riding deals gap. Im heading down as well with the hawk. Anyone in the area have any ideas or tips? And if youll be around or traveling athat way as well get ahold of me. Love to ride.

If you're asking me, we got about 3 to 4 inches in the Charlotte area. More as you go north, and I think the mountains got a lot more. I think they got more to the east of us as well.
But it really doesn't matter. This is NC, so it will melt as soon as the sun comes out.

Most everything east of 79 and 77 are terrific roads. when we go, we always get on 16 in charlotte and it runs all the way to Beckley. it's a great road. Try 219, 92, 50 or 33 heading east toward VA. also 250 and 39. We try to zig zag across them, starting with 50 and working our way south on VA220 and either 92 or 219. We did a number of great roads in southern WV west of Beckley and Princeton too.
