Tn in November
Wife and I are going over to the Tn. Smoky Mountains in the
first week of November and renting a cabin for 10-days. We
are trucking the bike so we can do the Tail of the Dragon and
a ride over to Chimney Rock.
What will the weather be like and what else is there to do at
that time of the year. Bike rides or other. If anyone is interested
in riding at that time let me know. We will be there from Nov. 3
to the 10th. PM me and we can make some arrangements.
Warning......the wife really likes to party. [sm=icon_guiness.gif]

RE: Tn in November
Hi Mike I live near Gatlinburg. November arround here this year should show you beautiful colors. but the roads will be full of leaves too so be on the aleart for them. Weather wise that time of year will most likely be 2 days with a couple hours of soem rain showers with temps hitting low 50's durring the day, then a day of coudy and warming slightly then a day of clearing with temps in the mid/hi 60s then a day or two of clear with temps in the 70s maybe an 80, then a couple days of getting cloudier and cooler and finally hitting the rain again. Nights will get in the low 40s on the rainy days.
But even rain days is usually just a shower for an hour or two and usually within 2 or 3 hours the roads are good to go. Just look out for shady spots that could harbor wet road. So you can still ride those days but they will usually be preaty cool.
Actually in this area NC, SC, TN, GA, KY, VA there is tons of great roads to ride. Just get yourself a couple good state maps and go rideing. The state maps show alot moreof the 2 lane state roads than the Harley Map book or even the big atlases do. and the state roads will get you into the lil towns and crossroads that will give you beautiful screenery and great rideing.

RE: Tn in November
I live about 25 miles from the Dragon and ride it year round. You could get some great days to ride in November. For other area roads check out

One easy way for you to tell what the weather is like is to go to http://www2.nature.nps.gov/air/webca...am/grsmcam.htm
It is a camera that is located on Look Rock Tower which is very close to the Dragon. Additional information such as temp. and visibility range are on it also.
I would love to ride with you and show you around, but I'll be muzzleloader hunting and working all week.
If you have any questions email me and I'll be glad to help you out.
Good Luck,
