Ride to the Smoky Mountains
1st Day
We will meet at the church at about 8:00 AM and leave at 8:30.
We will be riding about 300 miles the first day, riding SE out of Memphis down to Tupelo, MS. Then we’ll get on the Natchez Trace and ride NE and spend the first around Lawrenceburg, TN… probably at the first motel in sight or at least the cleanest looking.
2nd Day
From there we’ll ride 210 miles on Highway 64 to the other side of Chattanooga, TN, probably just NE of the city at the best looking motel.
3rd Day
Ok, this is suppose to be the best highway of the trip. It’s only 140 miles to our destination. We will ride up to Sweetwater, TN then to Tellico Plains, TN where we will get onto the Cherohola Skyway. We should stop along the route to view the overlooks over the Smoky Mountains. We will ride through a Cherokee Indian Reservation before get into Pigeon Forge, TN. We should arrive in time to get a motel and look around awhile. We probably need to make motel arrangements for tonight & tomorrow night
4th Day
We will probably ride over to Ashville, NC to tour the Biltmore Mansion. It’s about 45 miles over and I have been told the tour of the mansion takes most of the day. We’ll spend the night in Pigeon Forge again.
5th Day
Today we’ll ride 227 miles over to Nashville, TN to the Gaylord Opryland Motel. We can find a motel right next to the place so that it won’t be as expensive. Then walk thru the motel… it’s pretty much a day after that.
6th Day
The longest ride …The ride home… 337 miles !!
IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS FOR THINGS TO SEE.. SPEAK UP !!
