The Extended Suches Loop - By Guest

When I moved back to Georgia I bought a house in the foothills of the Appalachians. I ride in N. Georgia just about every weekend on my Ultra or my 2006 Dyna LowRider. I spend a lot of time on these roads and it is some of the best riding in Georgia. My only comments are that the section on 60 going from Dahlonaga to Suches has two seperate and distinct hazards. One is the "tar snakes." As evidenced in the photos they are quite numerous and especially trecherous in summer. The second is that the GSP sometimes stakes out this section, especially on weekends. The section of 180 running from the top of the mountain, back down to 129, is a great ride but very narrow and twisty at times so be careful. My favorite part of the Suches ride is the section of 60 running from TWO back up to the NW to 5/515. It is just a spectacular ride, with a little bit of everything, and is by FAR in the best condition of the three.
