 If you are taking a **car, truck, SUV, Volvo battlewagon, van, trailer with bikes**, then you may want to take the shortest fastest way to the destination goal. The wide view map below shows that:
-  * you can take Interstate 40 to Exit 86 (Marion/226) and go North (the roads will start gaining elevation at this point).
+  * You can take Interstate 40 to Exit 86 (Marion/226) and go North (the roads will start gaining elevation at this point).
   * Soon after Woodlawn, look for signs to rt. 226 North and take that (left turn).
   * Rt. 226 does split into rt. 226 and rt. 226A.  Stay on rt. 226 (right turn).  Rt. 226A is a very twisty road better left to bikes.

 This is an absolutely wonderful way to begin the long weekend. Seriously consider leaving in the morning (either on Thursday or Friday). If your schedule does not allow you to leave in the morning and you must leave after work, then I would suggest taking the fastest interstate route.
-If you are organizing a group that needs to meet somewhere...you could arrange to hook up at the BB Amoco, or if you are travelling on I40, a very convenient meeting spot is the Petro gas station at the Buckhorn Road exit.
-About 5 miles after I85 and I40 join up...take Exit 157 and look for the Petro sign.

-  * Directions to Famous Louise's Rock House Cafe and Spear's BBQ & Grill:
-These are two very fine restaurants where, at some point during Spring Ride, most denizens end up for a meal.  To get there from Little Switzerland, head North on the BRP and look for the Linville Falls Community Exit between BRP mile markers 317-318.  Once you exit off the BRP...turn left on 221 South.  Both restaurants will be at the intersection of E183 and S221 (Famous Louise's on your right...and Spear's on your left).
-Famous Louise's takes only cash or checks...whereas Spear's takes both those and credit cards.
