This route rolls through three counties: Forsyth, Yadkin, and Davie. There is some great scenery along the way: rolling hills, horse farms, a golf course--just beautiful! Crossing over the Yadkin River going out and back, serves for some great climbing. There are a couple of country stores along the ride that are biker friendly for rest stops, drinks and snacks. The traffic is very light once you cross over Highway 421.
