Left the house and headed to Gurley for breakfast. I stopped at My Brothers Coffee Company and had a coffee along with a muffin. I didn't have a plan, just to ride.
After coffee, I went 1 block to Gurley Pike and headed north. Right on Hurricane Creek Rd/Hurricane Rd through the hills and curves over to New Market and right on Winchester Highway. Left at Elora Tn on Hwy 121 to US 64, then right on Hwy 50 to Lynchburg Square.
Backtracked a little to Hwy 129 over to US 231 N for a minute, then left on Hwy 129 again. On to Petersburg and north on US 431 into Lewisburg. US 31A N and then right on Hwy 64 to Shelbyville. Turn on Fairfield Pike, left on Hwy 269 into Bell Buckle. Back to Hwy 269 and head toward Wartrace. Zigzag through Wartrace on Hwy 269 to Normandy and on to Tullahoma. Left on US 41a then over to Hwy 130 in Tullahoma. Left on 476, across Awalt Bridge, then left on hwy 50. I made a loop through Tims Ford Park.
Right on US 41a to Cowen and up to the overlook at Sewanee for a short break. I headed on to Monteagle, turned back to Hwy 156 and rode off the mountain through Franklin State Forest and into South Pittsburg.
Right on US 72 and met Sandy at Warehouse 207 for a beer and wings.
All the roads were good condition. 121, 129, and 156 were all good roads with nice curves. The roads from Bell Buckle to Winchester were also good curves.
325 miles for the day in about 8 hours.
Thanks Dad
Looks like a very enjoyable ride. I'm glad you got to enjoy it!!

it was a good ride. Clutch and water pump worked properly. The front tire had a better balance on it also. LOL
