Hey
@Dr.D are you talking about Back of the Dragon? I wasn't sure about the "AMS" part (maybe a senior moment on my part). Back of the Dragon is in pretty good shape last time I was there, within the past eight weeks, and The Snake road quality is excellent!
As always, as you well know, in our entire expanded area you have to watch for occasional gravel in some of the turns, but you can maintain full speed if you can hold a good line. Those two above are probably my two favorite rides.
Devils Triangle, you mentioned, is more of a challenge due to road conditions and that "I hear banjos" vibe after departing the prison
, but when I'm feeling "IT" I love to do that ride- for others, btw, this one is not in the area that we're discussing now.
We both know that these routes and others in this area are far better than Tail of the Dragon, which is waaaay overrated and plagued by incompetent riders (and drivers) and law enforcement- not that we ever would think of even bending any rules.
I have a lot of family matters going on now, but if I could join you all this would be not only fairly close, but I think an
excellent choice for high quality rides. Just my two cents....
