Been trying to set up a day long ride loop from Mammoth Cave National Park to Land Between the Lakes, and also incorporating a stop at the HD dealer in Clarksville. Trying to stay off the interstates, and finding some decent curves.

Here's what I came up with:



For those living in the area, would this be a recommended route? Would it keep my group on decent asphalt? Or is there a better loop I should be considering?

Thanks!

 

At this time that looks like a long day but good route. The roads that I have recently traveled are, LBL, Hwy 79 are good. For road conditions in KY go to 511.ky.gov, for TN go to TDOT both site track road conditions.

 

Thanks MCHOGG. I'll definitely check the website before we head out on that trip.

 

Wow. That trip looks to be at least one gas stop, but a great ride none the less! Been to Mammoth caves but not been up LBL. If you like Vette's you are so close to the Corvette Museum. I think that is going to be a very long day. Closer to 10 hours once gas, food and all is said and done.

 

That's what we like...lots of riding. 10 hours in a day is easy for the group I'm leading. We won't have time to do the 'Vette museum this trip, but a good reason to return later in the year.

My only concern is some of the KY roads on the north side of my route. Prefer to make sure the route is asphalt, hate riding for many miles on loose gravel.
