So, you've arrived at this BLOG either through the ACA, Facebook, Bike Walk Tennessee, or some other website. Maybe it was a search engine? Maybe you're looking for a place to take your next vacation with your bicycle on a loop. Maybe you're passing through on a trip across the country? In any regard, we look forward to hosting you in Tennessee.
Awesome site! Thanks for pulling this together.
ReplyDeleteJune 27, 2010. Today I was able to scout some of the southern portions unknown to me. US 31 between I-840 and Lewisburg is unsuitable for cycling. It does have shoulders but they are rumbled and the traffic is heavy and fast. Fortunately there is a good alternative just to the east on lightly traveled back roads.
ReplyDeleteLikewise SR 274, Old Railroad bed road is a death trap. The southernmost ten or so miles is narrow two lane no shoulder, curves enough to limit sight distance but not slow traffic. There is also an alternative to the east but it is much hillier and has no services for a long way. Nevertheless, I am amending the route to exclude these dangerous sections. Aside from fewer services, a big downside of removing US 31 is making Henry Horton several miles off route.
