I promised my wife's niece a great day ride if they brought their bikes down from New England. Since I grew up near the East Tenn mountains I wanted to give them a ride they would remember for a lifetime. Jessica was with her Hubby on a Vulcan and their friend Greg on a Victory Hammer. As strange as it may sound they wanted all the curves we could muster up; not a difficult task in East Tn.
We met at Frankie's in Lebanon at 6:00am for a quick breakfast before heading East to Crossville, down the mountain to Spring City, then cross Watts Bar Dam straight up 68 to Tellico Plains, crossing the Cherohala Skyway into Robbinsville NC, 129 N through the Tail of the Dragon to 411 and then 30 to Dayton Tn, crossing Dayton Mountain and straight to Spencer Tn, Fall Creek Falls area, to Sparta, Smithville and back to Dairy Queen in Lebanon for a 9:00 ice cream and a couple beers. 550 miles, hats off to Greg and his tricked out Victory Hammer... So I guess now it will become an annual event, next year is in the works but it will be a 3 day event taking in parts of another State. The New Englanders had a great time.
