Great little road with tons of off camber and tricky spots. Bronco continues to amaze me with how it handles the terrain.

Great video, I can't wait to do the same thing. I live in Dawsonville not far from Suches. I just don't have a bronco yet... Where in Georgia are you from?

It is amazing how fast the terrain changes once you get north of Atlanta. Beautiful riding territory

Nice video, some of those trails were sketchy. I'm impressed, I would be a little more hesitant...Dreading the first scratches. Great job

I scrapped the rear passenger flair and bumper on one of the walls but no big damage just a little scuff. The video doesn't really show how far off to the side you are leaning during those deep rut sections.

Looks cool. I'm from the Acworth area and not very familiar with Flatland Road [Suches area]. Looks very much single-track [for a vehicle as wide as a Bronco]. Is this a one-way trail? Any issues coming head-to-head with another vehicle?

Mostly a one way trail no other traffic coming towards us. Flatlands hits a forest service road on the other side and we had a nice little ride back to the main roads.

Is this part of the +SM500+? Looks familiar.

some of those old ruts look like civil war battery trenches

Its close to that area but don't think the Flatland rd is apart of it. Would not be fun at all or hell might not be possible to get a bike down that section.

Here is the general area I was in. The orange is flatland rd and the green are some general forest roads that are nice easy gravel roads.

Ok. I'd definitely get my bike through there. Haha the mud bogs would not be fun but those deep ruts can make for a good time.

We rode the +SM500+ that I looped. It is different from the SM500 loop. More technical trails.
