You should definitely come try out our area this year! The ride from Gallatin to Dover isn’t too exciting if you go through Nashville and Clarksville, but it’s a nice area with some cool stuff once you get here. If you have ride recommendations in the Gallatin area, let me know!

Thanks, Carl! We’re getting some snow on Monday, so I’ll be staying off the roads this upcoming week. It’ll be the perfect time to read some other tour stories and dream about warmer days.

Thanks for reading, Buster! I’m glad other riders are enjoying this route as well.

There’s no place like home!

Thanks, Rocky Rhodes! It’s a great little area with some nice local spots. Definitely worth checking out if you like small towns. Dover has two motels, and there’s plenty of camping in LBL and along the rivers if you want to go that route. For food, other than the spots I mentioned, there’s also Mama Mea’s (pizza, pasta, burgers, wings), The Dover Grille (Tex Mex), Guadalajara (Mexican food), Lance’s Pizza & Subs, and the Dip Dairy Freeze (burgers, milkshakes). Fort Donelson is nice if you like U.S. history or want a picnic spot overlooking the river. I’m always happy to offer recommendations to fellow riders!

Thanks for reading, Cav Scout! We’ve probably passed each other on the road at some point. The Danville ferry and boat ramp area is definitely a good spot to mention for this route. I enjoy a good fried bologna sandwich, so I’ll have to try the one at the ramp on my next ride.

And good point to mention about watching for local drivers who might not be paying close attention on 232. It’s not a tourist destination to the level of Deal’s Gap with loads of people flocking to the area just to ride that road, but it is a road that people live on and use for their daily lives. Glad to have another local’s perspective!
