Nashville, TN to Crossville, TN 130.3 miles
Today was a big day...130 miles and 11,082' of total climbing elevation through the "hills" of Tennessee to Crossville, TN. The forecast called for 90% chance of rain, however, we had no more than a few very light sprinkles that lasted only a few minutes. Despite the heavy overcast, the scenery remained spectacular with the trees showing more color the further east we travelled. Exiting Nashville during morning rush hour provide a new meaning to rush, but there is no road rage to report. Having fresh legs after a day off enabled me to cruise at an average speed of 16.5 mph. Tomorrow it is off to Townsend, TN, just another 105 miles and 9000' of total climbing elevation.
