East of Nashville
Cumberland Plateau
56 & 50.
Climb the ridge. Drop through the switchbacks. Do it all again.
Why ride it
Two roads. One big plateau day.
Route 56 climbs from Silver Point toward Altamont. Route 50 carries you through ridge country toward Pelham. Between them sit lake views, deep forest, steep curves, and real Tennessee scale.
Make the ride better
Views and stops will slow the clock.
Some curves are steep and sharp.
Break the route at a natural high point.
Turn the long route into a relaxed overnight.
