I'm taking off Thursday and Friday from work to have a 4-day weekend around Tellico and Robbinsville. This will be a dual-sport weekend for me, but all bikes are welcome. We don't have to stick together, but it would be cool if we had a group of folks hanging out together in the evening. I'll be on the KLR650.
The plan:
- Leave north Alabama on Thursday morning
- No interstate ride to Tellico
- Camp at CMTC
- Ride some dirt roads and twisties
- Return home on Sunday

Don't have routes yet for Friday and Saturday, but I want to ride Witt Road, visit the Lakeshore "Tunnel to Nowhere", and ride Rich Mountain Rd and Parson Branch if they are open. May also ride the Dirt Dragon and visit McFarland/Hiwassee Dam again. All of this is "adventure bike" friendly. Nothing gnarly.
I'm planning to stay at Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground (CMTC),
http://www.cmtrails.com/ (http://www.cmtrails.com/). Cabins are $50/night, but there are two beds, so you could share a cabin (not a bed) and get away with $25/night. Or you could camp there for $10/day. To make a reservation, go to the website, click "Rates," and then the "Book Now" button near the bottom of the page. I have already reserved Cabin #1.
Route up on Thursday looks something like this:

Temperatures should be nice in mid-April:

I don't have to work that Friday night so I'll try to make it up there on Friday.
You do realize that is Easter weekend.
If I am not on call that weekend, I will be interested in riding up Friday.

Well, good! That means that I only have to take Thursday as a vacation day. My company gives Good Friday as a holiday.
I get Good Friday off too! I'll try and make this.
I dont have a dual sport,, hmmm,,, maybe I need to fix that ;)
Leave approved. Kitchen Pass approved. I'm in!
I've got cabin #2 reserved with room for one more...
Someone may need a substitute bass player that weekend!

You wouldn't happen to know one...would you?? :P
I may know one or two.
I want to go with you. Seems right up my alley. But I do need to check work schedule. Please let me know if I can tag along. Thanks in advance.

Yes, of course. Any publicly posted ride on BamaRides is open to all who want to come.
Thanks. I'll stay in tune to this thread for more info.
We are in!!! New bike, 1st trip.
We are a street bike and will be staying at the at Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground, Tellico Plains in one of the cabins.
We are super excited!!!
Chuck & Susan
I'm in ! Looking at the website there are only 2 cabins left. Should I reserve 1 ?

Probably a good idea, unless you want to set up your tent. I'm sharing a cabin with KDTrull. It looks like Kevin, Shep, and Lazeebum are going ... one of them may need a roommate. I'm sure Cam will be with his wife. Looks like Frank might be in also.
I'll be camping.
Me and Shane are staying at the Microtel in Robbinsville.
Don't worry Tony...

Buzz and I will be there. Camping. Buzz on dirt. Me on street.
This is turning into quite the party!
I plan on being there too, camping.
sounds wonderful. going to be tenting if i can.
Sandy and I will be riding up on Friday.
This one is shaping up right nice like. I hope it all works out.
Can't wait to see y'all!

Maybe we need to get some pies delivered to the campground :)
You guys are killing me. I wish I could commit to something this far out. My schedule is made daily. Working all the time and never knowing a off day is getting old!
I'm having similar issues. We are short handed at work so I may be on call that weekend. Won't know till the first of the month.
I will hopefully ride the old GS up and do trails and Lynn can ride her ST and do road.
I may come along and do some street riding like I did the last year. I will probably stay in Etowah again, it was only about a 15 min ride from the campground. I liked exploring around finding some roads I would usually pass on by.
There's 4-5 that will be riding street only.

Greg, me and Shane will be hitting some new curves on Saturday. About 7 hrs worth and you are welcome to join us. We are staying at the Microtel and will leave out that morning.
Sounds good :)
Just reserved the last cabin.
We are not taking Thursday off, we'll see y'all Friday evening.
If somehow I am able to convince the wife to allow me to attend it will just be for Thurs - Sat.
Is anyone planning to ride street Friday? If I ride up it will be on the sumo and I have never ridden the Cherohala or the Dragon so those would be fun!
I have no problem putting a route together with a little help from somebody who knows the area.
I'll be on my Harley 2-up riding street Friday-Sunday. Cam on his brand new fancy Goldwing 2-up.
Greg, Shane, Shep and mojo on sporty speed bullets.
Lynn (Ms. Norton) on her ST
Karla riding street also.
(edited since my mind is bad)
There may be more, but this should give you what you need.
CAM will be taking it easy on his Fancy New Goldwing 2-up. I'm not going to push the curves too much. Still getting the feel of this thing. My plan is to make the same run Fencejumper has in mind. I have been there before on the old wing solo and has always waited for the chance to take the wife on that route.
We plan to leave Wednesday and ride up to Athens. Stay over night and meet with the group at Jack's the next morning to ride on up.
We are both looking forward to the trip and meeting more BamaRides peeps.
Chuck
Imma definitely be street.
Fencejumper, The route I had in mind would look something like this PDF posted on Hunt's Lodge web site. I had to go find it. But nothing is set in stone. But it seems to be a nice loop.
http://www.huntslodge.com/Cherohala_Skyway-Deal_s_Gap_loop.pdf (http://www.huntslodge.com/Cherohala_Skyway-Deal_s_Gap_loop.pdf)
Very cool! I just wasn't sure who all be be riding street on Friday! hopefully I can make it!
I will probably be riding dual sport but might change my mind between now and then. I won't get there until Friday late afternoon or early evening.
I'll be most likely be trailering up Thursday with both Huskies (I've got to make an expedient trip back on Sunday to do the Easter thing with some family...it's just quicker/less tiring with the truck).
I'll bring some folding chairs, EZ-Up, etc. If anyone wants a particular beverage for the cooler, let me know. Also, if anyone has a bulky item they want me to transport just get with me before then.
I'll pack an MX stand, tools, tubes, oil etc. if you guys/gals want to pack lighter and leave some of that stuff at home.
I believe Wayne, owner at CMT, has tools and an air compressor that he will let you use if you ask nicely.
I am planning on joining this ride.
I'll be bringing my XR650L.
The less asphalt the better 8)
Coming up Thursday evening, riding Friday and Saturday.
Hoping to share a cabin if anyone still has room ;D
We will be making our way to Athens on Wednesday, April 12th. Will be staying overnight and meet everyone at Jack's. If anyone wants to tag along, let us know and we will meet somewhere. Remember we are coming from south Alabama.
Chuck & Susan
Getting things ready to leave Wednesday.....

Yeah, that was from last Thursday (when they were dealing with the storm that came through Alabama on Wednesday).
The forecast is showing 79 in Tellico, so plan on 55 or so on the mountain.

Mostly just jerking chains, but I wouldn't go over the Cherahola first thing in the morning without plenty of clothes.
A few years back, I think Memorial Day weekend, we were returning from Robbinsville and were coming down into Tellico Plains just before dark. it had been cool enogh that I had a sweater on under my jacket at 4000 ft plus, and there was several bikes headed up with riders and passengers in t-shirts and fingerless gloves.
I bet they froze before they got much further.
The Goat and I rode over the Skyway a couple of years ago on a hot day in the late spring. When we got to Tellico Plains we stopped for gas and I added a layer. Glen was wondering what I had been smoking adding clothes in the heat but he figured it out a few thousand feet of elevation later 8)
It's mostly melted. I was actually surprised to see this as it wasn't very cold up high. There is lot of salt on the Cherohala, though.

Nice new fuel storage depot.
We leave this morning for Athens. We are looking forwarding to seeing/meeting everyone. Have a great day.

Thanks, I like it. Except now I have to plan rest stops. 🙂
I decided to start early. It's just me and Jim from Toronto here. Nice and peaceful.

Doh! If I'd known someone was there, I'd have come up a day early. :)
I plan to head out @ 8a in the morning and shag-a$$ up there. Hopefully get there in time to unload and do some riding in the afternoon.
We will be there mid-morning to noon on Friday.
I will be at Jacks in the morning.
I plan to be at Jacks before 9 in the morning. That means I will be rolling out of TTown about 5:30. Glenn don't leave until you see me or hear from me!
We are in Athens now. Will see everyone in the morning.
Chuck & Susan
I think that I have some decent routes for the dual sport group...

It was an awesome weekend. Thanks Glenn for setting all this up. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

I rode out ahead of the group to get find a good spot to get pics as the group rode by.

Then I rode ahead again to get some pics but the group took a slightly different group so I only got pics of Norton73 at this spot as he came back to get me.

More Saturday pics still to come...
Sandy and I left the house within an hour of the projected time. That's really good for us. The plan was to ride up to Dechard, eat breakfast then head east to Cherohala Mountain Trails near Tellico Plains.
First stop Sunrise Breakfast in Dechard. The food was pretty good and was on the table within a couple minutes after placing order.

Next it was to Hwy 50, 108, 399, 111, 30, 411, 310. These were all nice roads, a few had some steep grades and sharp curves. We rolled into the campground around 3pm. After checking in, Buzz and Karla invited us to follow them to Bald River Falls.
At Bald River Falls

Huge thanks to Glenn (Nice Goat) for posting up this ride and Mojo for leading the street ride to Murphy, Deals Gap and back to camp.

Another nice sunrise Sunday morning.

I was pretty lazy about getting on the road. Only Al and Melony were still there when I left.
(https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18010992_1373458456010687_2891108353118575075_n.jpg?oh=c6469ee567f342530c0c7d6b3c4cf314&oe=594F66EE)
Then I had a great ride down 315 and 30. I didn't get stuck behind any slow traffic until I was most of the way through 30 so I stopped to take a pic.

A little later I stopped to take another dam pic.

I decided to avoid Chattanooga and the interstate so I headed south into Georgia before turning west.
I used to ride this area when I lived in Jawja.

Some more nice Jawja roads and scenery.

I had a great time. Made it home about noon yesterday. As I was coming down 459 look over & there is Tony rolling along.
Trying to put some video together as time allows.
Here's a short clip of one of the water crossings on Witt Rd (and Matt getting torpedoed)...
Matt motor-boatin' the big S-Ten...

Matt giving Allen's ST the "sniff test" to compare seat odor...

I thought I caught a hint of Eurobike. Just making sure. You really can't be too careful these days!
It's awesome to see those water crossings! The second one looked better but the dunk was cool too! Thanks for getting those Kevin! :)
Last one, a mish-mash of both days. The battery died just before we hit Snowbird, so no footage of the really fun stuff.
Sorry it's taken so long to post my photos, and that I didn't take too many...

I forgot to dump my SD card before I left out for the trip. It was almost full.
I only got a couple minutes of video.

This was a really great ride and weekend!
Thank you all for making me feel welcome.
Even though I trucked my bike from AL,
I put over 300 miles on my bike.
Can't wait to do it again.

Glad you were able to join! You were killing it on that XR!
The next dual sport ride up there will include Trail 81 and Trail 82. I'll be on the little KTM. Might be Labor Day weekend...
Thanks nice goat! I really enjoyed this ride! Maybe you should make this a yearly event.
