This is a mixed surface route, you start climbing within about 2-3 miles and it’s steep and beautiful. That’s Old Furnace rd. Guessing that’s 5-7 miles of gravel climbing, then rollers. You’ll spend a short time on hwy 68, then left and you’re on country roads, mostly chip seal, beautiful twisty punchy roads. You turn left on Ivy Trail and it’s really punchy chip seal. Then a screaming descent to 315, turn left and ride it for ~1/2 a mile. Turn right onto Bullit’s Creek. Foliow it about 5 miles, then begin the climb up Star Mtn rd. Gain ~1100’ in 3 miles, then climb some more, then descend a good saddle and climb one last time before a chunky descent off Star Mtn to Meca Pike. Follow Meca (busiest road of the day) for about 3 miles. Make a ~270 turn onto another paved rd, follow it a few miles, then left and you’re on a beautiful country road and shortly next to Conasauga Creek. Nearing the end you’ll next hit Steer Creek Rd (beautiful valley with rolling and descending to hwy 68. Left onto 68, for a short run to the road that takes through the center of town. Left at the town square another 1/4 mile and you’ll cross the Skyway. Ack into the Visitor Center parking lot! Promise you enjoy this route.😏
