About riding in Tennessee
Tennessee has the steep Smoky Mountain region in the east, rolling hills across the middle and flatter land in the west. Spring and fall are the most comfortable riding seasons, with hot, humid summers.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 100 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 10h 00m |
| 12 mph | 8h 20m |
| 14 mph | 7h 09m |
| 16 mph | 6h 15m |
| 18 mph | 5h 33m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
