There are miles
and miles of great paved and unpaved roads in this part of Tennessee
that borders on western North Carolina and northern Georgia. Most of
the unpaved riding is on maintained roads although there is some
(optional) rugged single track for the more adventurous. For
street-only riders, Etowah is located at the western end of the famous
Cherohala Parkway and the great mountain riding around the NC/TN
border. Routes will provided in hard copy at the event and will
be
available as downloadable GPS files to registered attendees.
The region is excellent for "our kind" of riding and the dates this year put us in the mountains a couple of weeks ahead of the leaf-watchers that will turn out in droves when the trees are in full color. Etowah, Tennessee is on US411 a few miles east of I-75 and about 70 miles south of Knoxville. |

The Etowah
Red Roof Inn (formally the Sleep Inn and Suites) has recently changed hands. However, the new management has agreed to honor the rates quoted for our event earlier by Sleep Inn management. The new phone number of the Red Roof Inn is (423) 781-7459. Be sure to request the MSTA discounted rate of $64.95 when you call. The hotel is conveniently located only a few miles from great riding both on and off pavement. There are also several good
restaurants within a few blocks of the hotel and there's even a
coin-operated
car wash directly across the street if you feel the need to spray the
mud off your bike. |
