"Up the Valley" ride: LaFollette to Harrogate, 60 miles round trip

This map shows the main trunk line along Old Middlesboro Hwy/Old 63. Flat route (elev. varies by less than 300 feet over entire length), very few hills, all short. Great views of the Powell Valley, dominated by open fields and farms, w/ the Cumberland Ridge running along to the north the whole way (the Cumberland Scenic Trail is being constructed along that ridgetop). Great pizza on the Harrogate end (halfway point). Or park along the route for shorter out/backs. I have not ridden all of the side loops, but I think they're all paved. Back Valley Road (all paved) is a beautiful alternate route or makes a good loop w/ Old 63. Avoid riding west on Old Middlesboro Hwy at sunset, as cars approaching from rear will be blinded by the sun.
