Day 2, probably head to outside Asheville. Day 3, meander to Tellico (lunch in Franklin @ Caffe Rel?) Day 4, damn dam tour home If we leave Tellico on Day 4 which would be Sunday and do the damn tour I will never make it back to Cleveland that night. Your plan works if we meet Wednesday night near Charleston WV for example. then we go through Christainsburg mid day and stop before Asheville, kind of accelerate the rest of your plan. Then by the time we get to day 3 we are part way up the damn dam tour. Hope that makes some sense. I will map it up tomorrow, it will make more sense then.

ScubaCinci Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 OK yeah, you have a longer ride back. We can skip the damn tour and leave from Knoxville on the last day and slab it back...interested to see your routes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Damn it, you made day 3 backwards. Damn old people and technology. Ok, here are my ideas. So Wednesday night I would have to slab to Cincy then Thursday turn around and do some slab and basic highway to get to Charleston. I think I will slab to Parkersburg Wednesday night and have fun on the northern section of 16 Thursday morning. I will meet you on your day 1 route near Charleston. Probably in Racine where 94 hits 3. Well done, I really like 3. It's not a crazy twisty road, but it is very curvy and goes through some very interesting areas. But you skipped 16 south of there. That is kind of a must do road when you are in that area. That would put us in Marion that night probably. Day 1 suggestion. https://goo.gl/maps/UaqUkuM86TT2 So I started us in Marion Day 2 and got us on the BRP very close to where you had us starting. We could just continue down 16 and pick up BRP a little later also. Or cut over to The Snake if you want. I don't really care about that road, it's kind of short and a PITA to get to and get out of. And you wanted to hit that eastern section of BRP which is the best section imho. I also added a detour to Day 2 near the end by Little Switzerland. No way we can drive past 226 and 80 and not ride them. https://goo.gl/maps/qTwDfFamXF12 I changed the end of Day 3. Same to Tellico then cut north along part of the Damn Dam tour and then we can hit Devils Triangle at the end and stay near Rocky Top. https://goo.gl/maps/HMYFrDQkZ292 Day 4 F'in slab home. Hope I didn't blow up your plan too much, I have a tendency to do that. Your phone number still end in 82? I can call and we can chat about it. @Pauly you in?

ScubaCinci Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Jim, that looks fine to me, I like it. Yep, that is still my phone #. I have to head to Dallas for work and I won't be back home until late Thursday. We can figure out exactly where to meet up and what time. Again, you (or anyone else) are welcome to stay the night here Wed night. Do you still have a Sena? Anyone else? @JustinNck1 @2talltim you heading down earlier with @Casper?

Yea like justin said we were going to try for the weekend before with Casper but looks like it's going to end up being this same weekend but different days than you guys are going. And we would be trailering the nekkid bikes down. Edited September 24, 2018 by 2talltim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I took a run at hotels, tried to keep it cheap. I am willing to pay more but nothing wrong with any of these hotels. The links do not have the correct dates, fix it before any of you makes a reservation. Oct 18th Marion https://www.redlion.com/marion-va We have all stayed here before, you know what it is. Old but clean and quiet. Walk-able food and drinking. Oct 19th Asheville https://www.choicehotels.com/north-carolina/asheville/quality-inn-hotels/nc179?source=gyxt There is a Motel 6 across the street that is cheaper but the reviews say it is a shithole. Lots of food and drink nearby. Oct 20th https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/caryville/tyses/hoteldetail?cm_mmc=GoogleMaps-_-EX-_-US-_-TYSES Everything in that area is a shithole except this hotel. Plus we will be smarter in the morning. Waffle House and liquor store across the street. The links do not have the correct dates, fix it before you make a reservation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) I can be a bit of a hotel snob but not on a bike trip...these look fine to me. I like the ones we can walk to the store or get something to eat. You never know when you'll find a hottie in a kidnap van needing a jump start.

Blitz Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I had a WV trip planned that fell apart due to weather. If there’s still room in this trip, I’d love to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be at a conference in LA and I'm supposed to get back the 18th at 5pm. But I could take the red eye the 17th and be back in time. Let me see what I can work out.

I've been thinking about this since you posted it. Never really got too cold when we've been down there in the fall before but I know up in the mountains it gets cold quick so I ordered a heated liner for my jack and remote controller. I have heated grips and warm gloves so no issues there and I get decent wind protection on the bike.

Last year when me and the two now trailer fags were down there we got up to 37 one morning in Maggie Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
