This is a mixed surface adventure from downtown Knoxville. Start where you want on the route, we had people meeting us all the way out to the school off Martin Mill. We stopped for water and snacks at the Dollar General on 129. Butterfly Gap was the first big climb of the day. Some beautiful views up there too. Descend through Happy Valley to 129. Then follow 129 through the Dragon to the entrance to Parsons Branch rd. Anticipate some tragic from the Cove through Parsons, stay alert. It’s a solid climb (and descent!) as well. The next refill spot was the Cades Cove bathrooms, but there are many creeks one could filter water from along the way through Parson’s Branch. Two bottles took me from Cades Cove, up Rich (views in the Cove and above it on Rich) and out to the Walland IGA (100 yard detour) on 129. Great sandwiches (and picnic tables) there as well. From there it’s about 25 miles back to Knoxville, mostly rolling with a few punchy climbs. You’ll know you put in the work by the end of this one!
