I just did that ride recently. Your schedule is realistic. I know the Meadows of Dan area quite well if you want food/lodging recommendations. PM me if interested. Little Switzerland a great lunch stop, don't bypass the view from Mt. Mitchell.
Cherokee is kinda ugly and quite touristy but the Nantahala Gorge is still a nice ride.. You will be right at the Cherohala Skyway, if you haven't ridden it its worth checking out. About 45 miles of nice twisty quiet and very scenic riding - I only saw 4 cars the whole time. Robbinsville was crazy though with all the pirates headed to "the dragon".
When we get to Cherokee my plan is to go see Wheels Through Time then start moving towards home. Depending on what kind of time we're making, we may be able to take the detour to the Cherohala. Because of weather I didn't see it when I went to the Dragon last year.

Moist & foggy in the mornings up here but fairly warm. Riding in a long sleeve t shirt under my mesh jacket.
Highs around 70 and lows around 55.

Thanks! I'll be in mesh jacket and pants but will keep the waterproof liners in.

Great plans Nemo ! My son and I were going to try and ride the whole BRP last spring, but my wife didn't like the idea of dropping us off up North, driving the trailer to the end and just waiting for us. I told her she could bring a book ?
