I wished I lived there!  Spent many trips in that area.  Jealous.

Another Johnson City rider here.
It's getting time to start riding Holston Mountain roads again!

If you look at this old thread of mine, you can find a lot of maps that show back and forest service roads.

I've been looking for tour divide type of roads for training and these have been very useful. I'd love to investigate some N.C. roads around Pisgah, and the Blue Ridge areas. What I do is, when I find a good looking prospective area, I print out the PDF in a 3x3 matrix and tape it together for a higher resolution map. The maps are usually GPS tagged so that you can get a LAT/LON fix from the mouse cursor. I then often tape a few maps together and get a much better view of the roads and trails that are available.

Hey man,

There's a few of us around here in Asheville. Posting in the Pisgah Bikepacking Facebook group will probably get a response.
