Back Of The Dragon

Ride to the famous Back Of The Dragon. 32 miles, 438 curves and 3500 elevation. Combine it with VA66 and you have one of the most awesome routes you can cover in a single day from Raleigh. Though the riding time itself is 11 hours so surely want to leave early from Raleigh and plan on a late return.
