This route begins at I-85's exit 75 (Jake Alexander Blvd, Salisbury) and winds down US 601 Hwy in Mt. Airy (Andy Griffith's hometown, after which Mayberry was fashioned), at Snappy Lunch.
Scenery
This route takes you through four North Carolina counties: Rowan, Davie, Yadkin and Surry. From small towns to rolling country farmland, you will love this relaxing ride!
Drive Enjoyment
For 95% of the trip, the road quality is fantastic: smooth asphalt, hills and curves. The only place you really hit rough patches is if you encounter any roadwork being done (rare).
Tourism Opportunities
There are plenty of gas stations along the route, and you'll end in the quaint town of Mt. Airy. Again, Mt. Airy is Andy Griffith's hometown, after which Mayberry was fashioned.
Motorcycle Road Additional info
While there, enjoy the famous fried pork chop sandwich at Snappy Lunch! The Andy Griffith museum is on your way- you can't miss it.
