Duration: 2 days 7 hours

Description:
This is a weekend ride to Maryville to see one of my favorite bands
Blackberry Smoke. perform at one of my favorite venues The Shed Smokehouse &
Juke Joint.
I usually stay at the Hampton Inn in Alcoa TN.  but you are encouraged to
make your own hotel arrangements.
If there is enough interest I will secure a block of rooms. Last year only 4
others joined Joyce and me so it wasn't enough for a block.
Although I have tickets for Saturday night, tickets to the general public go
on sale soon. There are 3 shows, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. As it stands
now I have secured tix for Saturday only. If you are interested act fast
because tickets sell out quickly for this show.
Even if you are not a fan of BBS or not into concerts, Maryville is a great
location to clover leaf from as there are many miles of great riding in the
area including The Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and The Devil's
Triangle to name a few.
I will most likely plan a lunch ride on Saturday.
We will return on Sunday.
