Default Nice Sunday ride

My buddy Doc and I went out looking for a windy road we always pass on the interstate but didn't know how to get to. We probed as sorts of farm roads with in a 20sq mile area and finally found it. A ton of fun and we discovered many new roads to ride. Below is a photo me on one of the many wrong turns we made. In the background is a prosperous Tennessee farm all geared up for the spring planting.

Looks like a great place. There are too many straight roads in my area. The nice windey roads up in the hills and mountains are still a bit too cold.

In this Tennessee there are thousands of miles of roads like that. The photo at the top of the post was taken about 10 miles from my house. It was about 75 degrees here today and there were a lot of bikes out.

Looks like you had a good time...rain and cold here all day. That isn't one of those mega farms, is it? LOL.

Hey Ric27, hit me up sometime. I know most all of the good roads in Middle and East TN. West TN kinda sucks for riding.

Tennessee looks nice...Kind of looks like the back farm roads here in NE Conn. except the grass won't be that green for another month yet!

I live in Dayville...don't ride as much as I'ld like but do make the Plainfeild Vets run every year (Flag Day). (ever done that run?)
I have a 2000 Custom in Diamond Ice (silver) with V & H staggered duals and drag bars...
