Description: Welcome to the Adventure Series where we will try some short climbing on familiar routes. Starting at the Cedars of Lebanon - Hidden Spring Trailhead parking lot we'll roll out toward Norene and Sherrilltown. After turning right on to Porterfield Hill Road we'll ascend the 0.9 mile 4.9% climb to Rocky Branch Rd. and a screaming descent to Mount Vernon. Turning left on Statesville Rd. we'll climb a 0.7 mile 3.6% ramp on our way to Farmhouse Coffee Shop in Watertown. The route back is on the north side of Mt. Defiance with a .5 mile climb at 4.1%. The remaining 12.5 miles are classic middle Tennessee rollers on very familiar roads. The route is named after the Mount Defiance reference on RWGPS. Who would have thunk it?
Be patient, keep spinning and enjoy the descent.
