(Newswire.net — June 30, 2014) Dunedin, Florida It’s summer and motorcyclists are riding in the mountains of North Carolina and Northeast Georgia. They’re looking for the backroads less traveled spots along with great waterfalls, hiking trails, stocked fishing spots, lodging and Mom & Pop restaurants.
Each year John Hillman, business owner and executive, joins his motorcycle buddies in planning a trip to ride their motorcycles in the North Carolina and North East Georgia mountains in late spring or early summer. This year, they rolled thru the winding roads of the North Carolina and North East Georgia mountains on a six-day road trip they’ll never forget.
Although he usually relies on a GPS device when traveling elsewhere, Hillman says, “GPS is unreliable or often doesn’t work at all in the N.E. Georgia and other nearby mountains.” So as he and his buddies maneuvered their Ducati motorbikes around the tight mountainous corners of Cashiers, Highlands and on the Blue Ridge Parkway, they relied on Backroads Less Traveled maps to find the best motorcycling roads. “I put mine right over the gas tank so I can see easily where I’m going. And I don’t have to deal with that annoying in and out connection or vibration you get with a mounted GPS unit.”
According to Jeanne Matheny, creator of the Backroads Less Traveled maps for Western North Carolina, Northeast Georgia, and Southeast Tennessee, “Motorcyclists love our printed maps because they can easily find great waterfalls, hiking trails, stocked fishing spots, lodging and Mom and Pop restaurants.” (www.backroadslesstraveled.com). “Our maps feature great rides and unique locations you can’t find on any other type of map. We added little-known spots that make a motorcycling trip to the mountains super special like Silver Run Falls in North Carolina, and the gorgeous Copperhead Lodge in Blairsville, Georgia, (www.thelodgeatcopperhead.com) where Michelle Evans, owner and hospitality executive will make you feel welcome.
