It's a fantastic journey to Oakridge Tennessee where we meet up with Charlie Daniels and sell our souls to the Devil so we can ride this incredible 23 mile loop of a road while blasting Devil went down to Georgia.

As I'm also on the little boat ride we will have to be back in time.

We will start at 9:00 from the lodge and head through the skyway at full steam. We will drive speed limitish on 68 to i75 to 321 to 58 which will take us to OakRidge. This is where we will eat lunch before we hop on the triangle. after the 62 back to i140 which will take us to Maryville and US129 for a quick as we can on a saturday run through the dragon and back to the lodge.

It's a long haul but we should be back before 4:00.

Be advised this is the "aggressive group" We run hard through the twisty bits, but slow up when it gets straight and boring (i.e. high trafficked roads and highways. we drive fast, but try to do it as safe as possible). We should and normally finish the Skyway in 45 minutes to an hour. Limited Crossfires are more than welcome. If you find yourself falling back don't worry about it. I always stop at the end of the twisty bits and wait for stragglers. (we've never really had any)
