Theta Pike Grind

Harpeth Bike Club group ride from Liepers Fork to the formidable hill on Theta Pike near Columbia. From the rest stop at Santa Fe there is a steep hill up to route 7, then a thrilling descent down route 7 to Darks Mill Road which takes you to the lengthy climb on Theta Pike that maxes out at 12.5%. Theta Pike then takes you down to Knobs Creek which has another lengthy climb out of the hollow that maxes out above 14%. The remainder of the ride was pretty flat save for the final climb up to the Tennessee River divide. Took Bending Chestnut over to 46 then down to Liepers Fork via Wilkins Branch.
