Forum CEO HispanicSlammer Posted December 4, 2006 Forum CEO Share Posted December 4, 2006 Video Baileyrock, Shannon and I took a side trip to Ocacee Lake then looped back on TN30 to Tellico Plains last Fall during the Fall Dragon Ride. We sort of took a pace comfortable for Shannon and still challenging in the corners, a no brakes sort of ride! I enjoyed myself following the both of them. This being the second time on that road, having done it once before at the TexasMac Meet earlier that spring. At almost the same pace even! There was only one car the whole way! The Map Google Map of the route Highway 30 meanders across most of the south eastern state of Tennessee and probably one of the best stretches of road I have ridden in all of the USA! including the section featured in the video it stops and then continues northwest from Etowah then again gets rather twisty again from Dayton to just past Spenser where the road is just beautiful! TN 30 Google Earth Image Down the Pass to Pikeville OHH fun! TN hwy30 Up The Other side of Pikeville TN hwy 30 this side was TIGHT! TN hwy 30 Near Spencer! Wow it was great! THE VIDEO :rolleyes: Tennessee Waltz Video Baileyrock, Shannon, and I go for an enjoyable ride north on Tennesse Hwy 30 From Ocaee Lake to Reliance TN. wmv format 8 min long, and music by Metheny Mehldau (cd of the same name jazz) attached are a google earth file and a streets and trips file of the route we took Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure she has come a long way even since then with a track day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 KWR8728: That is a great road once you get off of 64 (I think). I hate to say it, but the rafters have ruined that stretch of road since the Olympics. All of those old school bues loaded down with rafts and half drunk yuppies scare the crap out of me. The buses think they own the road and come off and on the road whenever they feel like it. Isn't Reliance, TN the neatest little town around. People don't believe it until they've been there.

But, hey its tennessee right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 KWR8728: My point exactly. I find it interesting/refreshing living in Atlanta that places like Reliance still exist. For what it's worth guys, the last time we were there, the place was crawling with hotties getting ready to go rafting. (This thread sure took off in a strange direction didn't it?)
