I spend tens of thousands of miles actually riding and re-riding, exploring, and discovering new two lane mountain back roads to keep these maps current. I'm constantly updating them and making them better.
I'm out mapping again. Follw me Thursday 8/12 as I ride the entire Blue Ridge Parkway from end-to-end and stop to tweet a photo and update every hour.

"Sitting astride a fully loaded Triumph Tiger with no signs of any chicken strips on the well scrubbed tires, Wayne Busch was obviously a serious mountain rider. He is the owner of America Rides Maps and probably has ridden more miles in these mountains than anyone you're likely to meet. He has produced a series of maps highlighting the best rides in this area, so just grab a map, decide what you want to do, where you want to go for the day, and head out."

"I love the map of the Deals Gap area. I've been to the area many times and have always wondered what other rides where available in the area but didn't want to venture off and get lost. Now with my new map I'll be able to plot out full day rides and see areas I haven't seen before, instead of riding the same loop over and over. Thanks for a great map!!"

"I took a small leap of faith and bought the complete Blue Ridge Parkway set, plus three other area maps, based solely on your website info. It turned out to be a great investment. My wife and I spent last week in Little Switzerland, NC. Using your maps as our guide, we rambled all over western NC, NE Tennessee and southern Virginia. What fun we had. We never felt lost and always felt sure of our whereabouts, even though we had not ridden this area before. The "red" roads were awesome, the "blue" roads were pretty sweet, too. Mileage markers are very accurate. I bought the waterproof versions but (fortunately) didn't get to test this feature. All in all, this is an excellent product and a great value."

Cumming, GAHey there. Just wanted to email and say thank you so much for the fabulous bike ride maps. My husband and I have lived in the Asheville area all our lives but your maps have helped us find places we never knew existed! We just got back from Blowing Rock where we rode Buffalo Cove off #268. It was peaceful and just really a great ride. We're headed to northeast Georgia soon to try out the rides there too. Hope you keep updating the maps!! :)
Thanks!!!
Carol and Bill B.

On the back of each map;
I've cataloged more than 3000 miles of the most enjoyable two lane back roads to guide you to the best motorcycle tour in the Smoky Mountains.
PS - I've also mapped Sturgis and the Badlands in South Dakota with Devils Tower in Wyoming, and will soon release new maps expanding on the good motorcycle rides in West Virginia
The most extensive collection of great rides;
America Rides Maps are produced in small batches, often on demand, to insure you get the most recent versions. I'm never satisfied and continuously seek out new roads and add features to the maps. I'm constantly adding to and improving these maps.
I revisit areas, follow up every lead, and personally verify every route and the changes that occur.

I keep these maps as up to date as humanly possible and am always seeking to make them better.
Upgrade to the BEST VALUE for just 99 cents!

Now there's a third map type to choose from - new water and tear resistant maps. I've been searching for the perfect compromise between the standard paper maps and the heavy duty waterproof versions and I've finally found the affordable solution. This is the best map for the money. Upgrade your maps for 99 cents, it's worth it.
