Written Directions

In Smyrna, head East on Sam Ridley, until you turn onto Jefferon Pike(266) follow this until it runs into 96, and continue until you hot 267

Scenery

This route follows a good set of roads thru the foothills in Tennessee. It's a great example of what you expect to see when riding on the back roads. A lot of hills, winding turns, good roads, nice friendly people, lead into a quaint little town, Watertown. The ride is not difficult, and there are a lot of places to gas up, say hi to the locals, and grab some grub

Drive Enjoyment

Roads were great, no potholes and a lot of relaxing areas that allow you to just smell the country. 266 has some great curvy areas rolling thru the foothills of middle Tennessee

Tourism Opportunities

The ride is quiet enjoyable, and I didn't look for to many places to stop. Watertown is a classic American small town with a town square, and a couple of restaurants that get great ratings on Google

Motorcycle Road Additional info

Wanna get away from the city, or the burbs, then this is a great ride. One thing I noticed is that people in the country are all so friendly, I talked to 3-4 people about everything. Some of the conversations they initiated, and some I initiated...made me miss living in the country where people always seem to be so friendly...don't be shy :)

I agree with the other commenters. Fun, good scenery, and HWY 96 is somewhat confusing. There is not allot of road signs for 96. It is a fun, easy ride. Would recommend.
