Dual Sport 60 mile Easy North Loop

Starting and ending at Two Wheels of Suches Motorcycle campground in North Georgia, this is an easy going gravel dual sport route that will make a good morning or afternoon ride. If you leave between 8 and 9am you should be back to the campground in time for lunch and if you leave right after lunch should be back in time for dinner.
This route gets a little asphalt in, but it's 180 (Our version of The Dragon's Tail) so how can you go wrong? The short dirt road (Helton Creek Rd) between hwy129 and Richard B Russell hwy has a great waterfall right off the road on the right and a decent little creek crossing after the waterfall. The waterfall, I think it's called Helton Creek Falls, is off the right side of the road (you have to look for it). There will be a little parking area and a short walking trail to it. It's pretty cool and worth the short walk. After Helton Creek it circles back to 180 but takes a dirt "shortcut" back to the asphalt. Then takes you over Duncan Ridge, which has some pretty fun whoops. All of the off-road on this route is pretty easy and big bike friendly and the asphalt is all nice and curvy.
