Six Gap North Georgia Mountains

After receiving my Morgan Carbtune Pro I sync'd my throttle bodies and decided to take a short ride to see if the performance would improved. Holy cow!  I really didnt expect much of a difference but I ended up seeing much smoother power delivery and gained about 10% in fuel economy.

I was so impressed with the overall performance of the bike that I decided to take a longer ride up to the North Georgia mountains.  It's about 85 miles from Sandy Springs, Ga to Blairsville, GA and the ride really gets interesting once you get north fo Dahlonega, GA.  Highway 60 north of Dahlonega is a perfect ride for early fall weather. Lots of twisties and some short open runs make it a real blast. The only downside of the ride was that there was a bicycling race the same day and so there were a lot of downhill sections where one had to be careful of runaway bicyclists  swinging a bit wide on the sharp turns.

The area is known as Six Gap, referencing a figure-8 set of roads that loop through six mountain gaps. I only rode part of the six gap but totally enjoyed it. I will come back another time and ride the entire circuit.

I stopped at a small lake by the foothills before beginning the ride up the mountains. This just gives you a sense of the natural setting in that part of Georgia.
