OK, at this year's TRIKE TALK RALLY IN THE VALLEY V I'll be leading a Group Ride on Friday only. This will leave the other days open for Everyone to do other activities, rest some, and mingle and socialize with the other Great TRIKE TALK and TOI Members. This Ride will be the "OFFICIAL" one, but as most that have met me can attest, I will be riding somewhere every day, and Everyone wanting to can go with Mitzie and I on any other day are ALWAYS welcome also. We usually find some interesting roads, scenery, food places or visit "old favorites" each day. I'll have some other Great Routes you can do on Your Own or with Your Friends that You should find entertaining........Here is a "Rough Draft" of where You'll go on Friday...I'm still trying to narrow it down to which Lunch Spot I use. With Trikes taking up quite a bit more parking area than 2-wheelers, I'm gonna' visit Them soon on a Ride for a "measurement"...Lunch INFO as soon as I can...."ROUGH DRAFT"...
You'll leave Maggie Valley via the Blue Ridge Parkway into Cherokee, NC on 441...next, We'll travel through Bryson City, NC using 19/74, then a left onto twisty 28 into Franklin, NC...once in Franklin, we'll pick up twisty, entertaining Wayah Road over to 74 in the Nantahala Gorge..."Chosen Lunch Stop" will dictate Right or Left here, but the next leg of the Ride will take us into Robbinsville, NC via 129...then 129 over to the Deals Gap Store using "The Dragon" to head out on...next across the Scenic Foothills Parkway using 321 to take us to Townsend, Tn...73 to Little River Road which will twist along the River the whole way...then it's 441 through the Smokies Park. Traffic will dictate whether I backtrack the Blue Ridge Parkway or use 19 back to Maggie Valley.....this is an entertaining Route, and lets You get a pretty full picture of the Area You'll be visiting in June...it is also an "ALL DAY RIDE", and I'll run a Pace comfy enough for even the least experienced Riders to have Fun...we will even "tip-toe" The Dragon...so make Your Plans to ride that day...You'll have a Great Time.....***
