Why ride it

Let the river lead.

Highway 128 rolls from Linden toward Clifton with the Tennessee River close by. It is quiet, green, and just twisty enough to make the miles disappear.

Make the ride better

Fuel first.

Fill up in Linden or Clifton.

Watch the hills.

Crews and local traffic can hide past crests.

Stop in Clifton.

Turn the river town into the reward.

Check the weather.

Shade can keep wet roads slick.
