Club Ride #1

Club Ride, April 10-11, 2010. Tellico Plains, Tennessee

---

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

Plenty of excellent riding options. Four loops laid out, several hundred miles of awesome twisty mountain road riding. Street legal bikes only. Some optional trail on course, nothing required. 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.

There are a number of good restaurants close to the staging area as well as camping or lodging accomodations.

Standard GLDS CookOut on Saturday night, at the KOA Kampground. Pop and burgers provided, bring a dish to pass if you want.

Some of us will be camping at the the KOA Kampground, others plan to stay at the MountainView Cabins. They are effectively across the street from each other, right on the river.
