Bob, I 2nd David's feedback, you did a great job putting the routes together. A suggestion to avoid the confusion at the Statesville turn to the rest stop would be to route the folks to the rest stop by turning left just after passing the Statesville store that has closed. This would route the riders through downtown Statesville (big thrill!) and avoid the confusion when coming back from the rest stop to get back on Hwy 267, what do you think?

All that riding trying different road combos is really a tough task but our paying guests deserve a good route. Such is life. Glad you like it. Will have to research some more & tweak it for next year.
We may try & ride the 100 loop early this Fri before the ride. Will post in case anyone wants to go along.
Cary, the last time thru downtown Statesville was sort of like visiting dog alley. I'll consider re-routing but may opt for signs. We plan on doing something there & also in downtown Woodbury. Did anyone find any other spots that need attention?
I did the 33 on Thursday and missed the Readyville rest stop and kept going straight. The arrows coming out of the rest stop to the left could be marked "66 only". Too hot for our paying guest to go the wrong way like I did.
One other suggestion. There is a stray turn marker going into Woodbury indicating a left turn onto HW145 (Auburntown road). This confused some riders. They ended up in Auburntown!
Hey, I made that turn. I am drawn to that hill like a moth to a flame. There is a Crankin Cannon County marker at that turn that may confuse some people. We may just want to put a marker in telling people to go straight.
I loved the 66 route. I can tell a lot of thought went into the planning. There is a little something for everyone and it is never boring.
