Nancy and I attended the grand opening of the Townsend Tennessee Wolfcreek Motorsports Rentals. Good crowd checking out their rental fleet. The Tail was wild with exotics, muscle cars, cruisers, and other assorted road fanatics.

It looks like the heat will be easing up by next week (October 6). It has been hot and dry since forever it seems. The 10-day forecast is calling for afternoon showers, but the chance is less than 50% which means rain will be isolated and short lived. We still have 6 to 7 weeks of good riding before the action slows in mid-November. The Dragon/US129 is open year round and even on the coldest days you can have fun in a car. The T-shirt Shack at the Big Metal Dragon will be open through November 10.

September 12, 2019 It is time to plan your late summer trip to the Tail of the Dragon. The weather has been perfect with temps in the 80s and afternoon showers so widely scattered that most roads remain dry. Temps will moderate in the coming weeks as fall approaches. Still plenty of time to get a trip planned.

July 11 – The area is back into the normal summer weather routines of brief afternoon widely scattered thunder storms. We emphasize “brief” and “scattered”. Plan you day with riding until mid-afternoon and taking a break when the afternoon storms roll in. They are usually gone in 30-45 minutes and the skies clear for you to get back on the road. Thunderstorms can be heavy on one side of the county and no rain at all on the other side.

Lots of activity during the recent holidays, but things have settled back down to normal traffic.

The 4th of July holiday is coming up, why not escape to the mountains for a good ‘ol fashioned Appalachian celebration. CLICK HERE for details on area celebrations, fireworks, and availability.

Memorial Day 2019 – Please pause for a minute of silence in tribute to those who have given their lives for our freedoms.

Well May is here and we are seeing the typical summer weather pattern begin. To take a quick glance at the forecast you would think nearly every day is a rain-out. What happens in reality is the heat of the afternoon triggers widely scattered showers that usually dissipate in and hour or so followed by sunshine. A close look at the forecast will show 50% chance of rain beginning 2-3 pm each afternoon. And the 50% chance indicates only a possible chance of rain here and there. 

Taking this into account plan your day with an afternoon break for a late lunch when the skies darken. The sun will be coming out in an hour or two. And the roads dry quickly.
