any idea about what time the group will be in the tellico area on saturday. i will be ridding up from ringgold saturday morning, would like to hook up with the group in tellico or on the skyway?
I think the basic plan was to ride the dragon/skyway friday/sat. dragon in the mornings/evenings and skyway/loop mid-day.
Also, I dont think we've firmed up who's bringin what, last time we had various folks bringing a variety of food stuffs, drinks, ice/coolers, chairs, wood. This time we need to bring some grills, charcoal, wood if there's a evening fire pit and food/drink stuffs if we want to cook out. Last time we stayed at the CROT, so food/drink options were WAY limited vs. Robbinsville.
So if we want to cook out we'll need something along the following:
Grill (2-3)
gas/charcoal/wood for said grills
meat (chicken, hamburger, etc)
hot dogs/brats/sausages
buns
condiments
paper/plastic plates, utensils
chips
snacky treats (somewhat open category)
drinks (water/soda/etc)
ice/coolers
portable chairs (fold up camping ones or whatever, cuz there won't be enough seats and the ground aint *that* comfy)
breakfast stuff
All depends on if we are going to do a group meal both evenings, breakfast cookin on sat/sun or if we hit the local places. Think there's also a store near by so probably dont have to lug as much stuff up there

if I had to ball park a skyway arrival time.... I'd say something on the order of 1030-1100am sat morning to start a loop heading to I think Hooters for lunch then back into the dragon.... but thats just what I can recall from the previous 30 pages... and I doubt we have any kinda firm plans yet.... but think of ~30 busas pulling into Hooters.... hmm, could be fun
thanks for the info zukracer. hope to meet all you.
no problema, look forward to seeing you up there. If we ever nail down a schedule for a group ride, we'll post it here of course but will likely leave a copy of the route/times at the Phillips motel and the CROT store so anyone thats showing up late can catch up us
Thanks Zukracer...it seemed to me that a lot of our members are staying at Philips Motel and that's why I chose to make my reservations there so...I guess I should be okay.
Man...I'm looking forward to this...been to the mountains many a time..first time with the Big Busa though...I might even hafta call up Ken Wheeler and make sure he's got an extra rear tire on te rack for me as what's left of mine will probably finish balding out the middle on the 750 mile ride up.

I'm gonna be riding the smokies and surrounding areas beginning Monday or Tuesday the week of the gathering. Not planning on staying in Robbinsville for the entire time so wondering where and what time would be good for meeting up for some Friday/Saturday group busa riding?
Looking forward to the cool picture opportunities!!!!!!!!

Ken will probally have a tire in stock. He is a great guy and close to where we are staying. I have seen him go out of his way to help of people.
On the TN side of the Gap, there is another good shop. 129 Motorcycle Pit Stop is located on the way to Maryville. It is run by a couple of friends of mine. We can stop in and say hello if you want too. Good food can be found there.

Sounds like a winner to me...I'm gonna try to get the new rear tire mounted thursday (early afternoon) right after I check into Philips Motel and dismount my gear...this way I'll be ready and have it scrubbed in for any friday AM rides and have the new tire thing off my mind...and good for the duration.

On one of the previous posts someone mentioned pitching in for the cook out etc. I will be riding up from Raleigh,and will not be able to brink nothing but what I need, or will the snacks, food etc be purchased up there at the gap. Also, I cannot recall if anyone in the past posted if they were going to bring maybe a rear stand so that myself and others will be able to lube up our chains for the trip back. I have no problem doing the roll, spray, roll, spray thing, but a rear stand is so much nicer. Also, I will be arriving hopefully to the Phillips Motel on Thursday afternoon, hopefully early, so if anyone is there, lets ride...............
