Gorgeous here too. High in mid 70's with lows in low 50's with no chance of rain. It has been that way since Tuesday and projected to be that way through next Tuesday. I'm taking a day off tomorrow to guide a couple out-of-town friends on a 200-mile back road ride that will include the Devil's Triangle. Weather is supposed to be PERFECT.

The 10-day forecast only goes out to next Friday 10/18, and you can take it with a grain of salt that far out. But for now they are saying high of 67 and low of 47 with 10% chance of rain on the 18th. We'll see how that forecast holds up but this is traditionally a dry time of year for us.

 

Sounds fantastic down your way Lead. Always loved Tenn. Lived down there for a couple of years way back in the 60's. Bloomington Springs, Baxter and Columbia areas. Would love to retire there but would like to be on a mountaintop with ZERO people around me.....just seems those areas in Tennessee are now either full of peeps or they want too damned much money for places up there.

 

backroads-2 chimed in as well:

 

I have posted to backroads about a handoff this Saturday in Maysville.

 

Sounds good, Mike. Keep us posted!

 

Wildcat (London, KY) is even closer to me that Lexington. I could probably arrange a hand off there and bring it back to Knoxville if that leg makes sense.

 

Lead, get hold of Ohioskully down there in Knoxville. He has said he would do the handoff too. Maybe you two could ride up together.

 

Update:
The Mascot will be moved tomorrow, Sat Oct. 12.....

 

If the Mascot makes it to Knoxville TN, it should be great to let it experience a ride over "The Tail of The Dragon" (U.S. Route 129) and shoot a pic with the Mascot by the "tree of shame" in Deal's Gap...
