Title: Solo ride to, and around Tellico Plains
Post by: lazeebum on May 20, 2021, 08:29:55 PM
My lovely wife,  Jan got an opportunity to go to beach with her sister and nieces. They were going to be gone for six days.  It was a perfect opportunity for me to do some gravel riding around Tellico Plains. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210521/b571d3802f64383612fb0ebf3f0f4562.jpg)

I left around 9 on Friday morning, and headed out. Being anxious to get to the Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground,  I headed east on US 64.
To me, it's a scenic ride through  some mighty fine farms and hills. I took the quickest route I knew that didn't involve interstate highways. I made it to the campground in about five hours with a gas, and food stop. I set my tent up and  headed out for a  short ride.
I rode past  Bald River Falls, and rode North River Road up to the Cherohala Skyway. Then took the  Skyway back to Tellico Plains and the campground.
As luck would have it, there was a  Klrforum rally there. I had the pleasure of meeting other klr owners.  They're a nice group. They invited me to ride with them,  but, as many of y'all know,  I'm a slow rider, so I didn't join in a group ride. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210521/be9dcc377c7c10e75c7eb1c2d3f4f88c.jpg)

I see a chicken crossing the road joke in there somewhere...

It's a Gypsy Chicken asking why no one is in Key West right now.

It's a wild chicken. Lol... And when I got closer,  it took off like a quail.
