Is it too early to start this thread?
Anyone from Michigan or Ohio going to Franklin?
Been looking at different routes, looks like the orange barrels are everywhere.
Was thinking I-75 would be too much freeway, and thought some lesser traveled roads would be a nice scenic ride.

How about some feedback from anyone who went to Franklin last year from the north.

I-75 may be part of my route. Depends on how much time I choose to get there. I generally prefer taking the twisty route to the area, but takes a little more time.

Yep, I think it was 9 hours via I-75, and 11-1/2 hours off of I-75.

Damn, it's going to take me just short of 5 hours and I'm still in state :yikes:

My route is simple. Been there more than a few times. I-40 for 6 long boring hours to Asheville then 74 and finally highway 28. Can't wait! I must say that the B is the best interstate bike I have ever owned, so it will not be as bad as it has been in the past on my trips out west---Western NC, that is. :icon_lol:
