We recommend "MOTOR CYCLE ADVENTURES" Book 1!

 This book is a guide book to 23 rides in the Southern Appalachians. The book covers rides in North Georgia, Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. My copy was printed in October 2006, but according to the publisher's website there is a new 2009 release just out. The publisher has 2 other books in the series that cover the North Carolina High Country, Asheville, NC and the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC in one book and the Central Appalachians including parts of Virginia and the Blue Ridge Parkway in another. The author of book 1 lives in Cobb County, Georgia and has over 30 years experience riding the roads of North Georgia. The publisher is Milestone Press. You can order these books by going directly to their website, look for them at your favorite motorcycle shop or by purchasing them from Amazon at the lowest price we have found! Look in the "Books from Amazon" link to the left.
