correction, make that the 19th and 26th are still open

What are the directions to Short Mountain from the north side of Mboro, say Thompson lane area? Also, how far out and back would that be?

Does anyone know what the pavement is like on willmouth creek road between 53 and bill hill road? or sugar tree road and north short mountain road between 53 and big hill?

We rode Wilmuth Creek a couple of weeks ago. It was as good as it ever is. There are a couple of switchbacks so don't try to navigate downhill at 30 mph. Haven't been on Sugar Tree for a few years but it used to be maintained about the same as Wilmuth Creek.

Sugar Tree Knob is tar and chip and a good ride from 53 past the Sugar Tree Knob Church of Christ. Be sure to stop there and see the Cemetery and use the very nice outhouse. As the road goes east from there it becomes the N Sht. Mt. Road and is gravel not suitable for road bikes.

Isn't there a route that dumps out onto Stones River Rd to Sht Mtn?

looks like mason hollow road. takes you between sugar tree and stones river. I have never been on that road though to know what the surface is like.

Mason Hollow will connect a rider to the River Road. The surface is tar and chip, and no worse than the roads leading to it.

Old folks will recall the wonderful rides od yesteryear to John Sanborn's home on Short Mtn. He's in MTSU Dept. of Social Work: 898-2685; jsanborn@mtsu.edu

Hey Mike, gimme a holler. I blame/credit you for getting me into this mess. Hmmm what was that 20 years ago? I live out here in Cannon.
