I hate to say it but most of my rides like this is a haul more miles than I ride. o_O But most trips like this, I don't remember the haul so much as the ride. :)

Soon........fellow Tenere.............. Tenerers ........soon!

I am now about 70% sure we will be there. I will ride from Mexico City and my wife will fly to Atlanta. We will be in the area of Tellico Plains for 2 weeks.
Is there a good chance of seeing fall colors in the area? What things can we see? I have Deals Gap, Cherohola Skyway and Wheels throgh time on the list. My wife is an artist so any good museums can also be on the list.

For starters you might want to add:
Tapoco Lodge
Joyce Kilmer Forest
Fontana Lake and Fontana Village
Ocoee River
Hwy 28 from Deals Gap to Highlands North Carolina
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Blue Ridge Parkway

I’ll check into those. We were there 2 tears ago on a not very direct route from Mexico City to Alaska. We also went to Deals Gap on our way to the Indy MotoGP back in 2009.
This time I would like to take a little more time to explore the area.
Thanks for your help.

We are now about 80% sure. My wife had a malignant tumour removed in May so will fly to Atlanta. Today we went to see the doctor and she is doing well. She has to pick up her meds at the end of September . We have to be back home by October 21st. I will leave Mexico Coty September 20th. I plan on riding The Natchez Trace Parkway on the way there.
I am looking forward to meeting some fellow Tenere riders.

do you know when you will know?
I am in - though only for the dinner on Saturday and to meet all these folks with the weird aliases who have provided help, entertainment and inspiration for the past 4 years, and of course the shirt (Large), and the decal. For me it's fortunately just a leisurely and rather scenic 150 mile ride up from Atlanta.
If this inspires any other Atlanta Area stragglers with little time to spare, let's me Saturday at Browns Bridge Road & GA400 at 2 pm.

See you that Saturday!

This summer's been such a blur that I was looking forward to arriving mid-Tuesday to have some quiet days off. Now need to be in ATL on Weds for work and plan to arrive Weds night. Plan to tow the little trailer.

OK, I'm in -- it's only 1400 miles from here in northern Colorado, so why not? It'll be a fun ride (anybody goin my way?) on 2-lanes & backroads, 3 easy days. And I wanna see Checkswreck's camper trailer! Patrickg450, I'll pay my fee thru PayPal today -- pls put me down for an XL t-shirt. Ride on!
