LTAR TN Fayetteville 140miles
&
LTAR TN Huntland 147miles
Some of these roads were used by the TAT at one time. Expect great country roads, gravel roads and a great ride. I recommend you study these maps with satellite imagery before you go. Not all routes are rutted dirt jeep trails. These aren't those, but they are a great ride.
Capt'Jon's Connector 180miles
This is not a loop. But like loops, it's a full days adventure of a ride. This connects the Fayetteville area to the Fall Creek Falls Area.
LTAR TN Fall Creek Falls 135miles
&
LTAR TN Pikeville 160miles
Fall Creek Falls takes you on great country roads, dirt roads, and has a great overlook. Pikeville is the same with more pavement in the mix. These are not strictly enduro bike or big bike focused, but rather a nice balance in-between. Great area.
GRAT:
Graded Roads Adventure Tour
The GRAT was one winters project that kept me busy for many months. After, I began riding it in sections.
To date, I've personally ridden from the top of Land Between The Lakes in Kentucky, down to Winona, Mississippi. That's all I've ridden.
Going Clockwise, to Hot Springs Arkansas is completely untested by me. I carefully cross-checked, using many maps in the construction of this loop (including Google Earth Pro). With Google Pro, I was able to fly down, looking for, and confirming county stop signs at entrances to these roads (road signs with name's, was the standard I sought. But not all that I used have these).
​
In Mississippi, I got bogged down for a summer, trying to learn the safety, and lay of the state.
I found three zones of riding:
Close to major cities, a twenty mile buffer from the cities, and the deep country.
The deep country became my choice for this route. The people in the deep country are quiet, sometimes leery, always curious, and always nice in my journeys. Some people were questionable, but welcome to the world.
​
Some people who've traveled the TAT, have made negative comments about this state. But I've found that deep country riding in Mississippi, from North to South is a very good ride.
​
I've not made it into the lower counties of Arkansas yet. It looks like straight sectional timber industry roads with satellite maps.
Central, and Northern Arkansas routes are pieced together from many rallies, and groups who regularly ride Dual Sport there. They post these tracks up for public use, and there's many conversations about active rides there year around. So, I'm quite confident these tracks are good.
​
Mississippi during the hot months is not as FUN. I imagine Southern Arkansas is the same.
NOBODY has ridden this loop in it's entirety yet. If you take on this ride. Please let me know, as I want to know the names of the first explorers to see it.

Thanks,
Bairdman & Capt'Jon
