Tellico Plains area dual sport ride 28-30 September

[klaviator]

I'm planning on heading to Tellico Plains on Friday Sept 28 for a weekend of dual sport riding.  I'll be camping at the Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground.  https://www.cmtrails.com/

I hope to get there early enough on Friday to do a short ride but the main ride will be Saturday.  This will be a mix of gravel, dirt and paved roads in the area.  There will be nothing real challenging so Big bikes will be fine. 

Sunday morning will be a real early ride to Deal's Gap.  The plan is to ride 129 before the traffic shows up, eat breakfast at DGMR, then head back to the campground and pack up and head for home. 

CMTC is a great place to camp and is surrounded by great riding both on and off the pavement.  If anyone wants to join us on a street bike I can point you to some great riding.

Love that place.  Wayne, the owner, bends over backward to make sure you are comfortable and taken care of.

If you've never been dual sporting around Tellico, you should consider this trip.

Great minds and all. I had just put in for PTO this morning for that Friday with the plans of heading up there. I'll probably go up Thursday afternoon, but I'll see you there!

I couldn't agree with this more. I was staying there and had a mechanical issue in Robbinsville. I managed to limp back to the campground. Wayne comes by to check on me, and tells me if I ever have trouble again to call him and he will come haul me and the bike back to camp. It's 10 bucks to camp there, I feel like I'm ripping him off.   :)

Which bike will you be on?  I'll be on the KLR but I plan on cheating and hauling it up there.

I'll be on the KTM350exc. I'll be trucking it up too.

I'm tentative. Don't know whether to haul everything up on the GS or throw the WR on the back of the truck. I'll let you know.

Ok, I've blocked myself off the flying schedule. The wife has given me a kitchen pass. I'm planning on coming as of now. Since no one is riding up, I'm trucking the 390 up. This will be my inaugural ride on it.

I'm out. I have to tend to matters on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully Sunday will be single track at West Point.

I was planning on coming but have had a family issue come up :(

The weather forecast is looking good for this.  Rain today but dry fr, sa & sun.  Highs in the low 80s but keep in mind it will be cooler at higher elevations.

I'm hoping to get there around 2 tomorrow, set up camp and head out for a short ride.  I'll post in the morning before I leave with an updated ETA.

[2372ighost]

I'll try and meet there the same time.

Looks like I'll make it out of here ahead of schedule.  May be there by 1.  See ya'll there.
