For those of you who love to ride bikes as well as fly, I thought I would share a neat opportunity with you. My son and I both ride, but live on the South side of Atlanta. All of the great roads are up north of Atlanta in the Smokey Mountains. It is a bout a 3 1/2 hour bike ride to get to them, some of which are in the top 10 roads in the country (Tail of the Dragon, Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherahola Skyway, etc). I hate the ride through Atlanta, and often wondered how nice it would be to park the bike somewhere that we could fly to it and then ride.
Well, after discussing it with the Western Carolina Regional Airport (KRHP), it turns out they were very open to us parking bikes there, the condition being that we would fly in. Please don't throw me into that briar patch Mr. Wolf!
So, for $25 a month we have our bikes parked at the airport in a locked hangar. The neat thing is that they now want more business. So, for those of you who are interested, call and ask for Joe. 828-321-5114
The airport is about 2 miles from the entrance to the Mountains and some of the best riding there is!
I am not affiliated and get nothing out of this, except make some new RV/biker friends. I keep thinking someone is going to pinch me and wake me up.
