Georgia on my mind: Helen lures riders to region’s attractions

December 7, 2023 by Michael E. Gouge

As the heat of summer started to ease, I packed up the bike one Friday, needing to experience another road trip before the cold winds of November would arrive.

Three cylinders, three states

June 14, 2023 by Michael E. Gouge

I eased my new Yamaha to a halt on the quiet bridge over the Tugaloo River, stopping on the state line between South Carolina and Georgia.

A woman sits astride her motorcycle at an overlook with a scenic view in the background.

I knew the perfect road to introduce my new riding companion to a motorcycle tour across the Georgia mountains. The name even suited her perfectly — Warwoman Road. Zoe Kelly, a 39-year-old single mother and new rider, gave me a quizzical look when I suggested this road to begin a three-day Georgia road trip to Clayton, Helen, Hiawassee and the area’s collection of mountain … [Read more...] about To Helen and Back: A novice rider explores the North Georgia mountains

Notes from the road: Guidestones gone after bombing attack

August 1, 2022 by Michael E. Gouge

In the last issue, we featured a travel story on a popular riding destination, the Georgia Guidestones in northeast Georgia. A few weeks later, an unidentified person detonated a bomb against one of the four main pillars, shattering it into rubble. Authorities in Georgia deemed the controversial and mysterious monument to be unstable and quickly smashed the remaining stones … [Read more...] about Notes from the road: Guidestones gone after bombing attack
