Motorcycle Adventures in the Southern
Appalachians: by Hawk Hagebak Motorcycle Guidebook tours Blue Ridge Parkway & NC High Country Almond NC--Milestone Press announces the publication of Motorcycle Adventures in the Southern Appalachians: Asheville NC, The Blue Ridge Parkway, NC High Country by Hawk Hagebak. The 176-page guide lists 26 motrocycle rides, ranging from 16 to 144 miles in length, for motorcyclists of all stripes. Each ride description includes complete directions, a detailed map, estimated riding time, road conditions, points of interest, and tips for motorcycling in the Southern Appalachians. The author takes motorcyclists from the cultural delights of Asheville NC to the top of Mount Mitchell, highest peak east of the Mississippi, and from the tourist lights of Gatlinburg through the vast natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. One ride passes through Backbone Rock, the world's shortest tunnel near Damascus, VA, and another takes in the view from mile-high Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina's famous High Country. The tight turns and tiny towns of winding country backroads contrast with the sweeping curves and awesome views of the world-famouns Blue Ridge Parkway. Along the way, he provides choice bits of historical information, tips on where to eat, stay, and relax, and ride alternatives to shorten or lengthen each route in the book. Hawk Hagebak is a metro-Atlanta motorcycle sergeant and former coast guard navigator who has logged motorcycle tours in 48 states. He lives in Cobb County, GA with his wife and daughters. This guide is the second in a series of three Motorcycle Adventures guides he has written on the Appalachian Mountains. Motorcycle Adventures in the Southern Appalachians: Asheville NC, The Blue Ridge Parkway, NC High Country is available at selected bookstores, outfitters and motorcycle shops and retails for $14.95. It is also available directly from the publisher for $19.20 postpaid. Call 828-488-6601, write Milestone Press, PO Box 158, Almond NC 28702 or shop online at www.milestonepress.com.
