I'm headed to the Bryson City NC side of the Smoky's. I'm looking for any recommended road rides. Any help would be appreciated.

Talk to the folks at NOC. I know they do the whittier ride every wednesday and they have many ideas. If all else fails hop on the Blue Ridge Pkwy and head up.

Jim Parham put together a great collection of road rides entitled Road Bike the Smokies: 13 Great Rides in North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains. No TN rides, but lots on the NC side. Elevation charts and difficulty ratings let you pick the rides right for you.
