Smyrna to Watertown

Motorcycle Type : Sport

Hey, I'm from this area and this route is why I joined the site. I am a former rider, current cage-driver. However, I look for the same things I always did when I cruise and I independently came up with this route for Sunday morning drives. I came here thinking that riders would have good routes for me to drive and saw this. Well, I knew I was in the right place as great minds think alike. This ride has well-maintained roads and good rural scenic views. There are some turns and fun little bumps, but overall, it is an easy one to take in. No real amenities on the way, but you end with some in Watertown and very close to Lebanon, which has plenty. I do this drive at least once a month to mentally prepare for the work week and would love to see some (more) riders out there. If you see the late model Orange Mustang, shoot me that low peace sign. I respect your freedom and I always look twice before I turn.

We gave it a try, but never found Hwy 96. The route needs better directions. Still, Watertown is quaint, and the ride there was scenic and country. There appear to be three restaurants. We had a very good lunch at the Mexican restaurant.

I've lived here in middle TN all my life, but never thought about rating places I like to ride until now. I've taken this route dozens of times. It's quiet, rural, well maintained, lightly patrolled, and never crowded. Take Hwy 265 to Hwy 231 to Hwy 266 on the way back. Make sure on the way back you save time to ride through Cedars of Lebanon State Park. It's pretty in the spring.

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.
