Royal Blue and New River TN ride - March 22 and 23, 2024

[Hondasxs]

Looking to throw together an exploration ride on March 22 and 23, 2024.

My goal is to explore the Royal Blue area (west of 75) for one full day.
This would be the New River Unit AND the Royal Blue unit towards the Prison and old Eternal Flame.
Not to be confused with what you call the Ride Royal Blue area. We will ride that the other day.

One day will be a ALL DAY RIDE.
The other will be a shorter all day ride. lol.

Right now just throwing out the date. This is the only weekend I can go in March.

Lodging.....
Stay around Exit 141. Hotel, Eagle Rock, and other campgrounds.

Looking for interested parties and feedback on lodging.

I'm riding that weekend with @EMAW. Friday he was just gonna ride the Sundquist unit on his own. I may ride a few hours that day but I have to be back for a softball game that evening. Saturday I wanted to take him by Standing Stone on the New River Unit. No route planned, that's just my main destination. If you guys ride that side Saturday, we will just jump in with you guys. If you guys get on some of that crazy s***, we will just split off from your group lol. We are also gonna ride somewhere Sunday.

Hey, he's a man 1 Smirnoff Ice at a time okay?

 

[Adam490]

Wish I could make it. The Man's got me down until mid-April probably.

@TripleB we should do a Standing Stone ride for TO. That's a fun one.

I can confirm they have gas. Stopped there last summer with 2 groups. Now the ⛽ are 1970s era, but they did work as of last October 2023.
