Mountain Bike Ride - Forest Service Road 302, Ocoee, TN - Scouting Trip
Coordinates: 35.0687°,-84.6428°

I'm willing to try a new group activity. Are you? I've mountain biked forest service roads through the years, but never FSR 302. Therefore: "scouting trip".

I expect very little traffic on this FSR, and maybe many lake views. I've mapped this as 15 miles max (7.5 miles out, 7.5 miles back). We can decide to do less as a group depending on the terrain, but expect at least a 10 miles (5 out and 5 back).

I've only been on my bike a handful of times this summer, so I expect this to be a conditioning/training ride, easy to moderate pace.

If you'd like to get a feel for FSR 302 (Indian Creek Road), here's a video:

A contour map and route plan (including elevation profile) can be found in the photos.
