Downtown-Suck Creek-Sequatchie Mtn-Stair Steps

This road ride starts downtown, crosses the river into North Shore, then heads towards the first big climb of the day up Suck Creek - a 5.5 mile gradual climb with a very rewarding descent. You'll make your way through the Sequatchie Valley over to THE climb of the day up Sequatchie Mountain Rd - a 2-mile, grueling, steep climb that might make you go cross-eyed, but in a good way. You'll make your way back down another rewarding descent, cruise on rural roads, and cross back over the Tennessee River. Finally you will conquer the "stair steps" - three deceiving little climbs that will take whatever energy you have left, then you're home free! Cruising back into town will never feel so good.
