This is currently my favorite route as I've ridden it about 3 times in the past 3 months. I modified the return route to the Triad by getting off in Mount Airy with a food break stop at the Derby Restaurant, then south on 89 into the twisties past Hanging Rock -> Walnut Cove then home.
The Mabry Restaurant sounds interesting; will check that out in a future trip.
