Old Liberty Road

This is an excellant addition to an afternoon ride around the central NC Piedmont (NC 22,42,49...)! A few riders call thie curves on this stretch of road, "the closet thing to the "Dragon" east of the actual road...now I've rode 129 and while this is nowhere near as exciting a ride, it can, IMO, be a decent primer for an assault on the "Dragon"!!!

I drove on Old Liberty Road in October of 2008. Decided to go on one of the back roads in Randolph County, one of my favorite counties to go through in North Carolina. I went on that stretch between NC 22 and US 421 just to get back to the main highway. What a spectacular section of winding curves! This is like the mountains and you don't even think you're in one of the bedroom counties south of Greensboro! It's like the Blue Ridge Parkway at times, but this is about 25 miles south of Greensboro! And over 180 miles east of the mountains! Starts off like ordinary road before you get to the 3 to 4 miles of curves. It has these high banks within some of these curves. I'd have to say that there were about 25 to 40 curves within this stretch. It seems like you're going into a deep black hole before coming right back up into the heavens the way the series of curves is set up during this 8 mile section between 22 and 421. And this is one of the exits on US 421. You will not feel the same person again as you go on this adventurous stretch!

Great road for motorcycles but watch out for slow drivers and farm equipment...trust me on this.
