My 18.7 mile ride.
I had a great ride!
I rode from Middlebrook pike, down cedar bluff, up N Peters/Parkside, onto lovell, then down the farragut greenway to Grisby Chapel, then back up Grisby Chapel and up Turkey Creek to the shopping Center when I got a ride home. Trip info: 2h 17m 21s, Mx 27.0mph, Av 8.1mph, and Dst 18.66miles.
The directions might be useless unless you know this area, but I put it in my photo gallery too! You can go to it here...you don't have to sign up or anything.

Nice pix. Looks like a nice place to ride. I like the one of the shopping center with the lights on. That's a Vette?
So...you are building yourself a road bike? You have a frame already?

I never read anything about the frame, what is it? What kind of paint job? I think I ran across the parts list thread only.
A brand new Vette next to a Cobra, wow. One day I was on a century by myself in the middle of no where and I stumbled on a meeting of an A.C. cobra club. Some nice replicas, but one real oldie with a 428ci shotgun motor.(Daytona track motor)...whew!
The blue one is a kit..the red one and the grey one are the real thing.

It's a soul cycles monk. I am having it powder coated a translucent red that's so glossy you can see yourself in it. https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...712#post902712 The paint looks odd coming from the shots...but I've seen the paint before and it's slick.

I lived out by the Dead Horse golf course back in the mid 90's. I can't imagine biking on any of those roads, and living to tell about it. No shoulders, high traffic, twisting roads will poor visability. Whew. Maybe they have improved them since we lived there. The only good ride I found in Kville was the Pellissipi Parkway out to Oak Ridge.
Ride on!
Ride on!

my inlaws live in jefferson city and i have driven through knoxville more times than i care to count....having lived in LA, chicago and a bunch of southeast cities knoxville has some of the worst congestion around (ie kingston pike and i-40 near west town)
i remember when turkey creek was just wide open land
at least they have a chik-fil-a
