Tryon Rolling Art Motorcycle Show

What a pleasant way to spend a fall afternoon in western North Carolina.  You see old friends and meet new friends.  You see new cars like the new Maserati and old cars like the Model A Ford.

Put Tryon Rolling Art car and Motorcycle show on your calendar for 2017.  If you like antique cars and antique motorcycles, you will love Tryon in the fall.

If you are riding your bike to the show from Spartanburg or Greenville, stay off that nasty old interstate.  Take U.S. 176 north from Spartanburg.  U.S. 176 runs right through downtown Tryon.  If you are coming from Greenville, take highway 14 through Greer.  When you get to Landrum, turn left on U S 176 .  Follow that into Tryon.  You can stop Bird Mountain Wine and Spirits at the state line on U S 176 and put on your helmet.  Tell Ken I said hello.

While you are riding in the neighborhood, check out White Oak Mountain http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-waterfall-motorcycle-destination.html   Ride up White Oak Mountain if you need an adrenaline rush.

If you are riding in from Asheville, take U S 176 from Hendersonville to Saluda to Tryon.  This is one of the best motorcycle roads in North Carolina.

Tryon Rolling Art car and Motorcycle show was A plus.
