Less than 2 weeks! Anyone build any routes for day trips when were down there?

In my head. But honestly this might be the most laid back gap tip I've ever taken. I'll do the usual routes Foothills, Dragon, 28, Skyway, Six Gap but might might be taking more time just to relax and enjoy scenery and people watching at the Gap stores and other places. Maybe be back earlier in the day and utilize the pool more. 

For those that want to try something new the area north of knoxville is pretty decent that's where the devils triangle is. https://tailofthedragonmaps.com/devils-triangle-tn-map/

Anyone local have a small trailer I can borrow, buy or rent?

 

Really want to bring both bikes but don’t want to drive the suburban down solo

See if @Habi still has his. I'd loan you mine but it isn't tagged tested or set up for a bike yet.

I'm kind of thinking along these lines as well. Check out the scenery, go tubing, hang out with my buddy Dave with 129 photos while he takes pictures. 

 

Thinking of taking another trip down later this summer too. August is looking like not a lot of travel for work, surprisingly. October too.

I will be in this area from the 22nd to the 25th

http://www.thesnake421.com/

Currently have one big route planned and three short routes planned. Hitting several roads north of Tazewell.

Will also be doing Back of the Dragon (16) between Tazewell and Marion.

Staying in Tazewell for something like $60 a night for a room by myself because I hate sharing a room with smelly snoring guys.

You have a trs setup in your TH yet? Once you get over the initial investment, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

421 and back of the dragon are a lot of fun.

Max, I was thinking about attending the event with both my bikes, Z1000 & V-strom 1000. Are you still looking for someone to share your big trailer and gas expenses with. I have not looked into lodging yet. I am just outside Logan on 93. Let me know and I will look into lodging. Also are you wanting to ride some adventure dirt stuff on your DR?

On my XR, yes.  

 Was planning to just load the XR650L in the pickup and roll, but if you’re interested in trailering all 4 down, I’m in.   Pm incoming.  

 

This working out? Did OR just make another love connection?
