We were at Deals Gap all last week and had an excellent time. My daughter and I rode the Devil's Triangle that starts at Oliver Springs. We ate at Ruby's Diner at the bottom of the loop and then rode it counterclockwise. That's the exciting direction because of the extremely tight uphill switchbacks. You're riding up the fall line in the turn, and it's steep enough that if you get caught in too high a gear you can stall and slide down the road. It was a really good loop with a lot of Dragon-like curves and some beautiful scenery. From the DG motel and back it was right around 200 miles.
I'm glad you mentioned that name, because I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
