Three Rivers, KY to Dover, TN...54 miles




I had to ride 3,600 miles from Oregon all the way to Tennessee to get this picture of Buffaloes.

Nice ride in the Land Between the Lakes; a National Park 5 miles wide and 50 miles long with Kentucky Lake on one side and Cumberland Lake on the
others. These lakes were man made by damming up the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. This stretch of road has more boat launches than some states. There was so little traffic it was almost like riding on a bike path. About 40 miles into the ride we crossed into Tennessee our 11th or 12th state. At about 3,000 miles we started having many more bike problems and on future trip this long probably need to have new chains, cassettes and chain rings available. After riding this many hills things start to fall apart. Did I mention Kentucky and Tennessee are hilly--2,600 feet of climbing today?
