Club Ride #1

Club Ride, March 15-16, 2008. Tellico Plains, Tennessee


This is a Club Ride, it's not an event. No money, just come ride with a few fellow Club members.TNGroupShot

Plenty of excellent riding options. Four loops laid out, several hundred miles of awesome twisty mountain riding. Street legal bikes only. Some trail on course, some in the area available. Bring street oriented tires or plan to have your new knobbies beat up pretty good. It's all rock or crushed rock. Plenty of paved, but it's all good.


Tellico Plains is 525 miles, as in KTM miles, from the MI border on US-23. There are a number of good restaurants close to the staging area as well as camping on lodging accomodations.

Some of us will be camping at the the KOA Kampground, others plan to stay at the MountainView Cabins.
