Extreme Comfort Biking

2006-06-11

Yesterday, we did a driving tour of Greene County, Tennessee (we live in Oak Ridge, northwest of Knoxville). The driving tour itself was disappointing, except for the fact that along the way, we discovered a potential bike ride we didn't know about in the small town of Tusculum, Tennessee (here's a map).

The paved trail runs from a park near Tusculum College to the intersection of Rheatown Road (actually named Edens Road on the street signs) and McAfee Road, a distance of almost 3.75 miles.

There is a break in the trail at highway 107. The trail ends in a tobacco field overlooking 107, then picks back up on the other side of 107 and a creek.

We walked about half the trail, from 107 to the end, and saw lovely views of the Bald Mountains to the southeast.

Once we ride and assess it, I'll post a description of the trail on our rides list.
