The crown jewel of North Georgia sport touring, combining GA-60 over Woody Gap, the ultra-tight Wolf Pen Gap switchbacks on GA-180, and the high-speed sweepers of Blood Mountain on US-19/129. Anchored by the iconic motorcycle resort Two Wheels of Suches (TWoS), this loop features elevation changes between 1,450 and 3,260 feet. Wolf Pen Gap demands maximum focus with single-lane feel, steep blind crests, and zero room for error, while GA-60 provides rhythmic, flowing pavement through Chattahoochee National Forest.
