Killer_kaw Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I've put zero thought into getting to the gap so I'll be taking the slab south in the wee hours of the morning Wednesday. Any riders or groups have a more interesting route and not mind the company? Might be able to get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'll be trailering like a sissy so I'm just taking 71 to Cinci then 75 to Knoxville, etc. You're welcome to draft my toastermobile if that sounds more interesting than 77 slab. BTW, check-in is at 4pm or later at Fontana according to them. I will be leaving around 4am to get there around noon then ride for a few hours before checking in. May call and see if I can get in earlier though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 This way only adds about a half our of Google Time so maybe 20 minutes and has a nice non-freeway section in the middle. And then once you get to Asheville you have a million options if you want to get off the slab. https://goo.gl/maps/VgjwLHttiK42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much traffic and it isn't terribly boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Took 119 down last year and it is a nice stretch for a 4 lane. Worst part is we were staying in pigeon forge and took 81 over from Kingsport. That was horrible! Asheville route looks much more entertaining.

Tonik Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 You can also take 119 pretty much over to 75, then down through Knoxville and Alcoa to 129. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year we left Wednesday night and drove through the night and checked in around 7am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cuts through the wind like a brick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
