DerekClouser Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Planning a trip to Birmingham on the bike for the AMA race. About six of us going, all relatively experienced riders. We want to ride down and it's about 10 hours highway but want something a bit more entertaining but don't want to deviate too far out of the way or add too much time. Route 127 picks up just outside of Cincinnati. Has anyone rode this? It looks decent and pretty much takes us directly the way we want to go. Plan so far was to pick up 127 off 71/338 just south of Cincinnati. Then ride that until 24 and pick up 59 into Birmingham. So just mainly curious about 127.

Earache Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 127 kinda blows south of Lexinbgton to about Jamestown, KY. Loads of traffic, etc and not a great ride at all.South of the dam that you ride across, it's good for a short while.But from Jamestown, TN south to Crossville, it's 55 mph and crawling with cops. Be very careful in this area.I've always stayed overnight in Chattanooga as it's a days ride from Indy. Then we just hit the interstate to B'ham.

dustinsn3485 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I tend to agree with most of earache. The section from wolf creek dam to around Jamestown, tn is good. I would take it to there and then decide if you wanna go slow and boring to i24 or cut across to 65 somewhere south of Nashville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
