    Default Tennessee Adventure

    Hello All!!! I had a great trip to Knoxville, TN from Hampstead, Maryland. I left Thursday morning at 6am and arrived in Knoxville at 3pm. While down there I rode the Tail of the Dragon on Friday, which was AMAZING!! Pictures are attached. I then rode the Devil’s Triangle on Saturday. This ride had a lot of hair pin turns. I also checked out the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, which is near the Devil’s triangle…that was cool. I then rode back home to Maryland on Sunday…6am-3pm. This was my first trip on the Spyder and it will not be my last.

    Sounds like a great trip. I will be leaving out from the Raleigh area on Monday morning to ride in the NC/Tenn. area. We are staying in Pigeon Forge, but will be all over the place. I only rode the Devil's triangle once, and that was about 5 years ago. It is definitely a challenge. You also have to look out for coal trucks and every other type of object that can be in the road.
