Request

I have a request. If decision is made to do the Cherahola Skyway and/or Dragon / Moonshiner can we do it on Thursday Please. We are leaving on Thursday and those roads are right out my back door

 

[jjvw]

Our next days destinations are usually decided the night before during the cocktail hour....s.

Sometimes different rides with different leaders going different directions.

I will be happy to post said rides once we come to a decision.

We are getting there on Thursday, but will probably not do any leading. In previous years we posted events on the motel office window next to the door, for those that come late or don't do the rocking chair thing.

After moving to area I’ve found so many great roads in the area. I actually ride out of Maggie Valley 3-4 times a year as well as my home the rest of the time. It truly is a riders slice of heaven.

Just a heads up about Cherohala Skyway.News said something like 7 inches of rain fell yesterday.Johnny B may know more.

 

[Zammy]

Thanks for the heads up Marc, might get fixed in 3 weeks, maybe not.

 

[ol' school]

WOW! That is nasty!!!

 

[Marc H]

Thanks for the heads up Marc, might get fixed in 3 weeks, maybe not.

My guess is it will have some sort of patch job done in that time.Like 215? was a few years ago.

Tellico Plains are got hit very hard with flooding. Water declared safe to drink as of today.

Cherhola is closed until further notice from River Road to approximately Tellico Beach Drive in due to what Marc posted above. Detour they have listed now includes the dragon and 360 ( also with some issues. Before we get together I’ll take a ride down 360 to Tellico Plains and see first hand what’s going on. From what I understand it will not be a quick fix.

I appreciate Motorcycle Mikes willingness to post next days ride information here for those of us not staying at BW. Some camp, some prefer other lodging , and some may even live in area. It will be of great benefit

Update

Tdot has started a temporary fix for the washout on the Cherahola. My guess is it will be a traffic signal allowing one way traffics once they have part of the washout filled in.

no estimated date of completion at this time. Like I said I’ll take a ride and check it out a day or two before I leave for Maggie Valley.

I do have a route in mind (yes it involves the “dragon” ) to show you some of the great roads and excellent food in my neck of the woods..
