New Member Information

Welcome to Tellico Riders. Membership is open to property owners of Tellico Village and Rarity Bay who are licensed motorcycle operators and own a motorcycle.

Tellico Riders is an active organization of members and spouses who share the love of motorcycling and associated lifestyle. Our purpose is to organize and support group rides and activities related to motorcycling, support safe riding for members, conduct membership meetings, and organize social gatherings in the motorcycle lifestyle. Club Rides are twice monthly group rides that are posted and detailed on the club calendar. Click on the event for more details. In addition to the Club Rides, we have one Dinner Ride per month, along with some special holiday rides (e.g., New Year’s Day). Additionally, impromptu rides, called Show Up and Ride, are scheduled March through December several times per month as shown on the club calendar, weather permitting. A reminder email is sent prior to the ride communicating the time and place to show up. Show Up and Ride rides have no planned routes or ride captains. Those who show up pick a ride leader and enjoy the day. As always ride safely!
