idertorider WORDS FROM THE PUBLISHER Hi Fellow Riders, Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer! Wow! When is it going to cool down? Hope you are able to find activities that cool you down, like riding to Bald River Falls in Tellico Plains, TN and enjoy the cool waterfalls. You can stop along the river, bring your camp chair, a picnic and enjoy the outdoors and stay cool. Monroe County TN has so many great motorcycle routes, like the beginning of the Cherohala Skyway which takes you to North Carolina and catch the Dragon’s Tail for a great day of riding. Stop in at great restaurants like Tellico Beach, Iron Works Grill, Tellico Kats Deli, all located along beautiful Tellico River. You can stop in Cherohala Harley-Davidson across from Iron Works Grill for a great selection of Harley attire. If you are looking for a great state park with water access, check out Indian Boundary of the Cherohala Skyway. Then when it’s time to rest and rejuvenate after a great day of riding, check out all the AirBnB’s in Tellico Plains (ranked number 10 in Tennessee for AirBnbs). Airbnbs are typically less expensive than hotels and much nicer facilities in most cases. If you are looking for the best bacon on this plant, stop in Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Hams at 2603 US-411, Madisonville TN. They have Benton’s Bacon, the best bacon I have ever tasted! It is cured so it doesn’t require refrigeration until opened so you can take several packages with you and enjoy. Have a great day! “Keep Your Knees In The Breeze” © Kristin “Ms. Mag Man” Gracy CONTACT US SOUTHERN BIKER MAGAZINE P.O.
