The Copperhead Loop - By William Aubrey

Pretty much once you get into this area of North Carolina every single road is excellent for riding. Just let the map load and you'll see someone has recommended all the roads. The route I took on September 19, 2020 included NC 276, 215, 281, 107, Pine Creek Rd and 23. This overlaps with a few different recommended routes: "The Copperhead Loop", "Lake Toxaway Loop" and "Brevard to Bryson City". (Cross-posting to "Brevard to Bryson" city for one highly rated section) On this "Copperhead Loop" both 276 and 215 are excellent riding. There are a few paved pull-offs that make it safe to stop for a quick picture. Looking forward to repeating this route again this year.
