Author Message   Ericcogdell Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 12:14 pm:        I would like to plan a ride from Kansas to North Carolina. Are there any web site to help plan a good scenic route?   Etennuly Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 02:03 pm:        You are on one! give us a specific start and end point and time allowed and what you want to see. Your answers will be forthcoming!   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 02:27 pm:        If you have a GPS, I've had good luck with my Garmin. You can tell it if you want major or minor roads; tailor specific stops with what they call "waypoints"...it's a nice setup.   Davidxt Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 02:40 pm:        put your start and finish points in google maps then you can drag the route to the places you want to visit or look good   Dcc46 Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 02:54 pm:        if you got a hog membership with your bike they have a pretty good trip planner on their member website   Hughlysses Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 03:05 pm:        I don't think you have to be a HOG member, you just have to register at HD.com to use the trip planner.   Jlnance Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 11:25 pm:        How long do you want it to take you to get here? You can pretty easily do it in 2 days, but you might want 3 if you want to sight see.   Ericcogdell Posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 03:46 pm:        I will be going from Ft. Riley, KS 66441 to Hickory, NC 28601. I figure it will take to days to get there.   Okc99 Posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 04:03 pm:        You're simply got to hit Chimney Rock, NC by Lake Lure. The road from there to Asheville,NC is priceless. Pick fresh blueberries along the way!   Etennuly Posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 07:38 pm:        If you get through to East Tennessee by I40, get off anywhere East of Nashville on rt 70. Take it to 321 just west of Knoxville through Maryville. Stay on 321 through Townsend to Gatlinburg, either go through town or do the by pass, it is cool either way if you have never been there and if it is not too busy in town. At the end of town take 441 over Newfound Gap to Cherokee. Stop in town for gas and food then back up a mile to the Southern most point of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Staying near the posted speed limits on the BRP proceed to Asheville, Alt 74/64 at Bat Cave, This is the 64 you are looking for. This part of the route will take about 6 to 8 hours depending on traffic and stopping. You could make it 10 if you want to get a lot of picture stops in.   Thrux181 Posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 09:30 pm:        Hey Eric, When are you planning on coming home? You won't recognize 321 from Blowing Rock to Lenoir. Vern is right. 74/64 is fun. However the BRP from Ashville to 181 or 321 ain't bad.
