I'll start:

Parsons Branch.

A short one way unpaved run thru old growth forests of the Smoky Mountains. About a dozen creek crossings and it ends in the middle of the Dragon/Deals Gap/US 129.

Driving time 1 hour? Thats 7.5 mph average. Do you push the bike the whole way? Or do they factor in the time of you getting out of the ditch after you dump it at 50?

Stunning. Great photography. That road is exactly what the Uly was designed for.
Thanks.

Lake Front Road in Land Between the Lakes. Banked paved sections with some beat-up pavement straight sections. You can explore the dirt side roads along the whole park. Just watch your speed on the Trace Road. It's 45 and trust me, you will want to go 70.

Question about those creek crossings.

Are they the type that grow algae and moss that's slicker than greased teflon?

And how challenging is Parson's Branch for someone with road-only experience?
