Tennessee Ride 02/16 and 2/17

[elkaholic]

Go for it. What you got?

Starting at G1 and 116 (don’t care how we get there)

G50 to 50 to 60 to 64 to G53 to G57 to 57

If running long, we can escape via 58 then come up G56 to get to the end of 57

If not continue on 57 to 54 to 63 to 61 to G55 to 53 to 52 to G52 to G50

Long day but fun!

Good age- they are up for anything. I would like to see thru their eyes again. Everything is new!

No doubt. Can't count how many times he has said this is the best day ever on the pioneer! Lol

Do you think 59 is possible in that direction in place of 64. I love those stair steps. I took the 2016 overland adventure trip down the stairs steps

At least 8 hours with a few stops.

I do not know. But the nice thing is that if it is not, it is not far to back track to 64. I know 64 is passable that way.

As you are aware, everything changes there with liquid sunshine

Comfort Inn or Double tree in Oak Ridge TN. Hotels are easier to get in after dark.

Can you ride to the trails from hotel or need to pull. Sorry for 1000 questions.

Yup. If we run into any “issues” it turns into muuuuccchhh longer. All depends upon where you are in the loop for what kind of escape route is available. As you know, 57 does not have many option. Once you are down at the bottom in the direction I mentioned, your options are limited ....

See what the group wants. May stay off 57 for that fact. Run 53 to 61 to Caryville flats. Come back that way to and down 52. Saves 2-3 hours.

 

[elkaholic]

Agree 100%. We can also run up to the old radar base (a little history). There is also an unmarked trail to the left if you go past the radar base towards the strip mine ....

Rode it this summer. Cross Mountain highest peak west of the Smokies in TN I believe.

Cool that puts us heading back toward home for that ride. Are you guys going from windrock to coalmont Friday night or sat morning. I guess I'm assuming a few of you guys are semi local around there...

If we ride hard we could go down to shoneys for lunch.

I’m local to Windrock. I plan on driving down Saturday morning. We gain a hour going so it depends on start time. 3 hour drive maybe a little more.

Might follow you. Thanks for the info.

Now take a breath boys.. There are two days of riding planned. We don't need to break and fix and break and fix and then miss Saturday's ride. We got two maybe three honda's coming from a pretty good travel distance to "ride" with us. They've also rearranged their schedules to make the ride. A little common sense would make for less "issues" as stated above... Capisce?
