129/RR/75 report

[joeld100]

129 around blood mountain is in good shape - only a few patches of gravel here and there - though I did run over some crap that fell off the back of a truck (literally). A lot of fun can be had up there though.

Richard Russell Scenic Highway is decent on the north side up nearly til the Cow Rock Mtn pull-off (if I recall), but past that is dicy. I'll be avoiding it for a while.

75 was similar to 129, maybe a tad more gravel in places. I took 180 from 75 to 129 and it was surprisingly clear.

Anyone know how 60 is through Suches and beyond?

Nice to know,thanks.

60 into Suches is smooth for the most part. But 180 via the national park is complete rubbish. And like you said, Ga 129 back up and down Blood is nice. Still a few sandy spots.

I did the loop twice yesterday, it was great being back up in the hills. 180 is passable. The worst part is from just before the bridge at the little lake, to 129. Stay in the groove and you'll be fine, might even have some fun. The rest of the loop was tons of fun. Even 60 back towards Riders Hill was clean.

I'll be back up there today. Riders Hill at 10:00am

Anybody know about the bmw wreck with the chevy truck today? Was there as police arrived 2 hours later they were still there.
