I suspect that considering the limited time, it will be difficult to finish the entire loop in one afternoon, however riders with more off-road prowess than myself may get it done. However, I will need folks to run the southeast portion along Devil Creek and confirm if this track is as close as I think it is. At the time, part of Furnace-Pilot road was closed, but I believe this GPX track is correct. Early this spring I tackled a little over half the DBBB and “proved” most of the attached GPX file. From my Moto Bucket List, the DBBB is a 100 mile dual-sport loop around Red River Gorge, about half of which is off road. Headed back down 715 you turn down 77 and take a trip through Nada Tunnel before heading back to the start point to meet up with other riders and head back out for another adventure.įolks that are looking to dispense with the pleasantries and get on with the scrambling need look no further than the DBBB. Sky Bridge on the other hand means you get a chance to take in a nice twisty ride around Kentucky Highways 15 and 715 and take a short walk out to the Sky Bridge to see majestic views of the gorge. Natural Bridge is larger, and may arguably have a better view (arguably…), but if you’re dressed in motorcycle gear, the one mile hike to the top, or even the sky lift may be a bit warm. While Natural Bridge is unquestionably one of the most popular tourist destinations in these parts, I recommend Sky Bridge to the motorcycle crowd. The following routes (and others) are posted on the Red River Scramble REVER group, and GPX Files are stored in a Google Drive Folder.įirst time visitors to Red River Gorge should not miss out on the opportunity to see one of nearly a hundred natural arches hidden around this part of Kentucky. In order to make things easier for first time visitors to the Gorge, I figured I would cover a few of the routes I’ve put together for the weekend. Per my comments, I’ll be at Miguel’s Pizza Saturday morning (7/22/17) for breakfast, from there I’ll direct folks to the type of riding they’re looking for, and I expect I’ll meet up with a few folks for a ride just after noon. The Red River Scramble “Meetup” is just a few days away now.
