NC Hwy 261- Roan Mountain Road

Only managed to catch this road in the wet, but even with reduced speed (in my hot hatchback) it was plain to see that this was a great road, especially leaving TN and entering NC. It got a little more interesting before Bakersville, NC, too. All in all a solid ride, and I dare say one worth trekking to. Do yourself a favor and take 80 south off of 226A right next door. It's properly silly and you're just a few miles away.

As of May 2021 this road has marking all over it, on the NC side, though the TN is probably even worse, in that I would imagine they're going to be tearing it down and repaving it in the next year or so. It doesn't really matter to me. This road, despite it's appearances, is more lazy sweepers than twisties, really. It was decent enough, sure, but nothing I'll ever go out of my way for again.
