I don't want to tell you what to do or not do.
But our 3 bike group will be 2 hours from Tellico Plains, TN on Wednesday night. If you stayed in Cookville,TN Wednesday night then you would also be 2 hours from Tellico Plains. You are welcome to meet up with us in Tellico Plains on Thursday and ride to Maggie Valley via the Cherohala Skyway, Dragon, and Moonshiner.
@ 61 years old, you will be the youngster of our group.
Cookeville is 10 hour ride from Henryetta
and..... it's a 666 mile run (sounds devilish)
